The '''1990 Azkali cyclone''' (usually referred to as the '''Naharretazakon''' in [[Azkali]]) was a devestating off-season [[Volic gulf cyclone|Volic Gulf cyclone]] that struck [[Azkali]] and [[Sunteria]] on 12 Agotzo 1990 (27 Snoiguia 3116). It remains the cyclone with the fastest recorded wind speed and lowest barometic pressure on record. It was the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history, and greatly exacerbated the at the time ongoing [[Azkali societal collapse]], resulting in one of the most devestating humanitarian disasters in the history of the world. It caused approximately 400,000 deaths, and possibly as much as 750,000. These casualties were almost solely in Azkali, and caused damages there estimated at $440 billion dollars. The 1990 Azkali cyclone was the first cyclonic storm of the [[1990 Volic cyclone season]].

The 1990 Azkali cyclone caused apocalyptic flooding across Azkali and Sunteria, rendering it visible from space, breaking many local and national meteorological records. As it made landfall, it caused a 12.2 meter (40 foot) storm surge that completely destroyed all coastal communities in its wake.

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 [[Ichatzoaka]]. ~~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 [[W:Brown ocean effect|Brown ocean effect]].
