1990 Azkali cyclone: Difference between revisions

Line 13: Line 13:
In the days before landfall, the cyclone intensified to its record breaking maximum wind speed, an estimated 230 miles an hour. In the hours before it made landfall, it slightly weakened, leaving it's landfall wind speed at a staggering 220 miles an hour.

The cyclone made landfall at 11:40 AM on the 12th of Agotzo, in the village of [[Hengatzeisu (township)|Hengatzeisu]]. As it made landfall onto the southern Azkali coast, the cyclone stalled for several days, causing catastrophic rainfall; the maximum recorded being in the village of [[Ngetetz]], a suburb of [[Retzal]], with a record breaking 212 inches of rainfall over thirty-six hours, a world record. The cyclone slowly weakened from a super cyclone to a cyclone, still sustaining winds of over 100 miles an hour until the 16th of Agotzo. On the 17th, the cyclone began to weaken further and headed northwest, reentering the Volic Gulf on the 18th. It curved northeast, quickly intensifying into a Super Cyclone with winds of 160 miles an hour, before making a second landfall at [[Ichatzka]]. The cyclone weakened into a severe tropical storm several hours before landfall, and curved northwest, heading into [[Kalilonde]]. The cyclone continued to drop catastrophic levels of rainfall, and the cyclone even re-intensified into a proper cyclone as it continued into Kalilonde, perpetuated by the massive amount of rainfall that had occured in western Azkali and Kalilonde days before; a textbook example of the Brown ocean effect.

However, starting on the 19th, as it entered into dry land, the cyclone quickly weakened, and by 9:00 AM on the 20th, it transitioned into an extratropical system. The remnants continued to move northwest it was absorbed another extratropical system
