Hurricane

"We have confirmed Hurricane __ is a Category 5 Hurricane!"

 Alert Message 

Description
Hurricane is a bonus disaster in Tornado Insanity, where the player must survive a hurricane that can range from Category 1 to Category 5. On some occasions, a Category 6 hypercane will occur. Hypercanes are exceptionally rare and dangerous, being able to destroy the map in a few seconds even before the eyewall hits.

The hurricane disaster consists of phases. First is the outer bands, where the outer areas of the hurricane hit and cause winds that are relatively weak (but still dangerous). Afterwards, the eyewall of the hurricane will hit, which is when the strongest winds hit and the hurricane blocks fly the fastest.

Storm surge, a commonality with hurricanes, has a chance of occurring during any hurricane and guaranteed during a Category 6 hypercane. Storm surges behave like floods, however their height is not specified and blocks will continue to fly across the map, thus adding more difficulty.

Afterwards, the eye of the hurricane passes through, and the map becomes totally calm for a few seconds. However, the other side of the eyewall will hit soon after, and high winds and storm surges will resume. Then, once the final eyewall passes through, the hurricane will die.

During Tartarus' Phase 3, a new category will be introduced. Category INF is the highest and hardest category that a hypercane can reach.

During Phase 2 Tartarus a category 6 Hypercane is the hard and high category Its named UNNAMED

Hurricane [UNNAMED] (Tartarus Exclusive) CAT 6


 * Before Version 3.8, the hurricane disaster played in a similar way to Tornado Alley Ultimate's hurricane, with the storm fluctuating between categories as it occurs (though hypercanes would always remain at Category 6 strength from beginning to end). However, it now plays out in phases following the 3.8 update's bonus disaster revamps.


 * Outer rainbands, eyewalls, and eyes are all components of hurricanes in real life, though they do not always play out in neat phases like in the game.
