Odoneru hurricane: Difference between revisions

Odoneru Hurricanes are monitored by two regional command centers, Hurricane Regional Command North (HRCN) in Martilles, Burgundie and Hurricane Regional Command South (HRCS), in PLACE, [[Paulastra]]. Previous to the creation of the modern iteration of these commands in 1973, each nation tracked hurricanes on their own, to varying success. [[Burgundie]], [[Faneria]], and [[Fiannria]] through the [[Levantine Union]] created a joint monitoring mechanism in the 1940s but the methods and technologies were insufficient to be very effective. Pauldustllah and Kiravia operated independent of any other nation but both had agreements at various times to sell the Levantine Union any hurricane related information. The processes for information transfer were untimely, often miscommunicated, and sometimes counter to the foreign policy of the nations involved and in 1972 the Odoneru basin nations (that matter at least), developed the northern and southern joint command program. Implemented in 1973 the system is estimated to save the participating nations hundreds of civilian lives and $billions in recovery spending each year.

Hurricane Regional Command South (HRCS), is the coordinating center for Pauldustllahstani and Kiravian hurricane response and acts as an early warning center for the HRCN. Hurricane Regional Command North (HRCN), pronounced ‘’hurricane’’, is the coordinating center for Fiannrian, Fanerian, and Burgundian hurricane response. While both centers track tropical cycles throughout their lifecycle, HRCS is statutorily responsible for reporting potential and active tropical depressions south of the Tropic of Cancer, and HRCN for anything north of that latitude. After the 1994 hurricane season the watch centers of both commands were more closely aligned as the devastation was partially attributed to a poor communication between commands.

Notable because of the rapid succession of large hurricanes making landfall. In Cartadania alone in a three week period, a Category 4 hurricane (Karina) skirted the coast of Cambria causing massive beachfront damage. A cold front pressing south pushed the storm down into Aleira where it stalled for three days. As the wind slowed the rain over saturated the ground and massive inland flooding overcame river banks and caused widespread flash flooding. The storm pushed into Milano as a post-tropical depression and petered out, but not after dumping an average of 6 inches of rain in its path. An unnamed tropical depression passed up through Acara the following week causing minor flooding and wind damage. 4 days later, Hurricane Lorraine, a Category 1 storm sped into San Andreas. The storm was abnormally large and rain and wind were damaging in San Andreas but devastating in Cambria where the already breached rivers and dams were again inundated with rain. Trees fell at the lightest wind as the ground around their roots turned to lose mud. Roadways collapsed as their drainage basins washed away. Sewage plants in a number of communities overtopped and public health emergencies and evacuations were called. Landslides became fairly common but varied widely in magnitude.
