‘A Storm Too Soon’ author Tougias giving talk and slide show

Author Michael Tougias, who has written a number of books about sea rescues and disasters, talks about his latest book, “A Storm Too Soon: A True Story of Disaster, Survival, and an Incredible Rescue,” Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the North Kingstown Free Library, 100 Boone St.

The talk will be accompanied by a slide show about the daring real-life 2007 Coast Guard rescue of four vessels caught in an unforecast Gulf Stream storm producing 80-foot waves that inspired the book. The Newport-based “The Flying Colours” and its four-man crew were lost in the same storm.
