Medicane Hermine

Overview

Meteorological History
Medicane Hermine originated from a Saharan low off the coast of Libya. It the organized into a Medistorm, and the NCFC assigned the name "Hermine". It soon intensified further into a category 1 medicane. It encountered an area of warm water, causing it to quickly reach C3 strength. It then made landfall near Gela, Sicily, and lost strength rapidly. It then left Sicily and dissipated over Catanzaro, Italy.

Sicily
The storm caused most of its damage here, and was also where all of its deaths occurred. The city of Gela was severely damaged, however early warning allowed most citizens to escape the storm in time.

Italy
The storm caused no deaths in Italy, however an Italian Coast Guard station in Catanzaro was flooded.

Aftermath
Italy and Sicily Built new storm shelters in order to be more prepared for future Medicanes.
