Spookicane Frankenstein



Spookicane Frankenstein was a highly devastating storm that formed in the Halloweeld (name formed by combining Halloween and world) and struck Skull Island at near peak intensity, as well as also affecting the Pointed Peninsula in the continent of Witch's Pit and the mid-eastern coast of the Spook continent. It was the sixth named storm of the 2019 Halloweeld spookicane season.

Note: A "spookicane" is no different from a regular tropical cyclone. It's just the name used for any hurricane-strength storm forming in Halloweeld. Weaker variations are called "Spooky Depressions" and "Spooky Storms", obviously named after their earthly counterparts.

Meteorological history
The origins of Frankenstein were from a low-pressure disturbance that developed just southwest of Jack-O-Land. Under favorable conditions, the disturbance organized into a depression, and then into Spooky Storm Frankenstein. Conditions were expected to be favorable for further intensification as it approached Witch's Top and the Pointed Peninsula. On August 22, Frankenstein intensified to a Cat. 1 spookicane, and it was a Cat. 3 not long after. Due to the danger of the storm, Spookicane Warnings were issued for the Pointed Peninsula region. It made landfall early on August 25, weakened over land, and emerged back over water as a disorganized spooky storm.

Over the next few days, the system would be entering increasingly favorable conditions which would allow for at least gradual strengthening as it approached Skull Island. Early on August 27, it reintensified to a Cat. 1. On August 28, it surpassed its former peak and reached Cat. 4 intensity very soon afterwards. Skull Island was put on high alert due to the threat of Frankenstein and people on Skull Island's southern coast were ordered to evacuate to the northern part of the island. Late on August 29, Frankenstein was now a Cat. 5 monster. Peak intensity was reached soon after that, and Frankenstein barreled onshore at near peak intensity during the afternoon of August 30, bringing catastrophic devastation to the southern coast of Skull Island. Over land, the system weakened before emerging back over water as a Cat. 2.

The storm weakened further to a Cat. 1 due to a region of dry air, but reintensified afterwards to reach Cat. 2 as it approached the eastern Spook coast. A tertiary peak of 105 mph was reached before it moved onshore the Mid-Eastern coast of Spook. It dissipated over land on September 3.

Impact
The system was notoriously devastating for the southern coast of Spook Island, and it could be considered one of the most devastating in the island's history. The damage this system wrought led to its retirement, and its replacement name was chosen to be Fear.
