Hurricane Jean (2018)

Hurricane Jean was a powerful Category 5 hurricane that made a Category 4 landfall in North Collarina. The thirty-sixth named storm, nineteenth hurricane, and eleventh major hurricane, the storm developed three days after it emerged off of Afripup. On September 23, a disturbance was named Tropical Storm Jean. Forecasters called for the storm to rapidly intensify into a strong Category 5 hurricane. Sure enough, rapid intensification occurred and Tiffany intensified into a hurricane the next day, September 24, and a major hurricane the next day. On September 7, Jean became a Category 5 hurricane.

The storm first impacted the Bulldog Islands while it was at Category 5 status. The outer bands also reached Port Terrier and some clouds reached Hispupola and the Boxer Islands, but no fatalities or damage were reported. The storm maintained Category 5 intensity for quite a long period of time, as it stayed at that intensity for a total of 5 whole days, or 120 hours.

After that, the storm weakened to a strong Category 4 hurricane, right before the storm slammed into North Collarina at that intensity. From there, the storm rapidly weakened and was proclaimed an extratropical cyclone on October 4.

Retirement
On December 28, 2018, the Puppy Hurricane Center chose to retire the name, Jean, due to the storm's widespread destruction and number of fatalities. On January 2, 2019, it was subsequently replaced with Jessica, respectively.
