Formation
Hurricane Debra was formed from a low area of pressure near Dakar, Africa, on December 16th, 2018 and garned the attention of the media fast because it was intensifying at a rapid rate, faster than anyone could keep up. Today, an American News and Talk Show; had described Debra as a Hurricane from Hell itself. Debra had already strengthened to a Cat. 2 the next day on December 17th, 2018. Although people thought it was just a bad omen, others had different sides. Hurricane Debra was talked all around the world due to it's rapidly intensifying eye. A couple days later on December 19th, 2018. It was already the worst Hurricane on record before going through the Eyewall Replacement Cycle, which brought it down to a 4. But still re-intensified as a catastrophic Hurricane. Storm trackers had traced the storms path to strike right smack dab in the middle of Rhode Island. It was recorded as the worst Hurricane to hit Rhode Island in over 50 years, since Hurricane Carol and the New England Hurricane of 1938. Evacuation orders in Rhode Island and central New York was initiated. Already on December 22nd, over 100,000 people have evacuated. Due to the massive crowds at stores, one incident cost 33 people's lives; when a active shooter situation happened outside the Walmart and Walmart Auto Cares center in Farmingdale. SWAT took down the shooter, but only after 33 were killed by the shooter. Nobody knew why the hell that happened, but they can only conclude it was for "safety" reasons.

On December 23rd, 2018, the next day; Hurricane Debra was bearing down faster than anyone could keep up. By this time, 50,000 more Evacuated, leaving Rhode Island and central New York a unnerving ghost city.

Finally, on December 24th, 2018, the Hurricane struck Rhode Island as a Cat. 4, and moved through central New York as a Cat. 2. Causing massive destruction and storm surges up to 25 feet, and even 35 in places. Rhode Island was completely flooded and destroyed and left inhabitable to some. However, 30,000 decided to stay and over 500 were killed subsequently. Rhode Island was buried in 12 feet of storm surge and central New York was left unrecognizable in some places. Making it the worst Hurricane to hit Rhode Island in terms of damage EVER.
