Hurricane Slaime

Overview
Hurricane Slaime was a devastating storm that decimated Baja California, Japan, and Hawaii in the year 2069. Winds peaked at 220mph, with a record low pressure of 977 mb. Towns were completely demolished where the eyewall came shore, and impacts were deadly and far-reaching.

Meteroogical History
Hurricane Slaime formed in the Gulf of California, which was an unprecedented event in itself. As it crossed into the Pacific Ocean, Slaime dumped torrential rain in the Baja California. A total of 43 inches was reported in Cabo San Lucas, which already marks Slaime as one of the world’s wettest tropical cyclones.

Slaime quickly intensified as it turned South-West into the Pacific Ocean. Before making landfall in Hawaii, Slaime packed winds of 170mph. Maui was utterly devastated, and Holonulu even reported a gust of 163 mph before the radar system failed. After striking Hawaii, Slaime charged into the West Pacific, hence becoming “Typhoon Slaime”. In the record warm waters, Slaime further intensified into a monster storm, with winds of 220 mph. Japan and the Phillipenes were already experencing nasty rip currents, and Guam was battered with 77mph wind gusts.

Slaime would make a final landfall near Tokyo, Japan. Winds were sustained at 200 mph, and they eyeball produced tornadoes and flattened towns and livestock. Slaime would move inland, quickly weakening and becoming a remnant low two days later.

Baja California
As a tropical storm, Slaime struck the Baja California. The slow movement of the storm produced record rains. Mudslides were triggered and a family of 4 died when their house collapsed. 25% of homes in Cabo San Lucas were rendered uninhabitable.

Hawaii
Slaime made one of two Category 5 landfalls in Hawaii. Winds gusted over 160 mph, and a record storm surge of 17 feet was reported on the Big Island. President Hillary Clinton declared Hawaii a disaster zone, freeing financial aid towards recovery. 660 people died.

Guam
Guam was brushed from Typhoon Slaime. Even the outer rain bands produced downpours and wind gusts of 77 mph. Moderate damage to homes and minor foooding was reported. Thankfully, no lives were lost in Guam.

Japan
Japan was struck by Slaime, which was a Category 5. Pretty much everything died.
