Major Hurricane Ampharos

Major Hurricane Ampharos was an intense hurricane that was incredibly devastating for Hawaii, striking all 4 islands at or above major hurricane status. Ampharos would spawn in the Central Lucarius Pacific and would enter the Western Pacific before crossing back into the Central Lucarius Pacific.

Meteorological History
A Tropical Depression spawned in the Central Southern area of the Central Lucarius Pacific on October 19. The system gained the name Ampharos, while moving WNW. Continuing intensification, the storm changed directions to the ENE shortly before becoming a Hurricane. Intensification becoming more intense, the storm would change directions again going North towards Hawaii. Ampharos would become a major about 300 miles South of Hawaii, causing Hurricane Watches and Warnings to appear. The storm reached an initial peak of 135 mph, 931 mbar before making landfall near Volcano, Hawaii of the Big island.

Ampharos weakened slightly to a Category 3 Hurricane due to land interaction before beginning intensification once again after re-entering water south of the 2nd Island. After stalling for a short period, Ampharos began to move North at Category 4 Hurricane status again. Ampharos reached it's second and final peak of 150 mph, 923 mbar while making it's 2nd landfall on the 2nd Island. The storm slowed over the 2nd island before accelerating WNW, making a 3rd Category 4 landfall on the 3rd Island and a Category 3 Hurricane landfall on the 4th one.

Finally, Ampharos slowed down near the International Date Line before entering the Western Pacific on November 1. The Farm River Meteorological Agency(FRMA) began to take over advisories on the cyclone. A Category 3 Typhoon, the storm made a turn North and finally Northeast, weakening relatively quick due to deteriorating conditions. On November 9, Ampharos re-entered the Central Lucarius Pacific as a low level Category 1 Hurricane, continuing to weaken. However, conditions became relatively conductive for strengthening temporarily as Ampharos started fluxuating in the Tropical Storm classification area. However, a combination of Wind Shear, Low Sea Surface Tempuratures and interaction with Hurricane Torracat prompted rapid weakening and the storm would complete an Extratropical Transition before becoming fully frontal that night.
