User:Sassmaster15

Hi, I am Sassmaster15; a Bureaucrat and Administrator of this wiki! If help or assistance is desired, do not hesitate to contact me.

About Me
As mentioned above, my name is Sassmaster15. Though, most people tend to call me either Sass or Sassmaster. Presently, I am a Bureaucrat and Administrator of this wiki. I fist joined in December 2015 and have been actively contributing ever since. I earned Administrator status on February 26, 2016, followed by Bureaucrat status on April 21, 2016.

My HHW History
Up until joining this wiki, my hurricane interest was mainly during years the Atlantic was active. After enduring three consecutive less-than-desirable seasons, I began to fear the Atlantic was dying. One random December night, out of sheer curiosity I Googled "forecasts for the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season". The first result was this page, and I clicked on it. After doing a little bit of exploring, I knew I had found my second home. I registered later that night and began work on my first season, which I completed the next day. I was met with a warm welcome, particularly from two users that are now my best friends here: Hypercane and Bobnekaro. Over time, I gradually got to know the community better and eventually became a chat moderator on January 14, the same day Hurricane Alex became a hurricane! As mentioned above, I grew increasingly more active and eventually was promoted to Bureaucrat on April 21.

I survived...
Below are the storms I have experienced in chronological order:
 * Remnants of Hurricane Isidore (2002): I was only a toddler when this hit, but it still had some effects on my area. Heavy rain and some flooding occurred.
 * Extratropical Storm Isabel (2003): Once again, I was still very litttle when Isabel struck, though it hit as a full-force extratropical cyclone. The storm produced heavy rain and gusty winds, causing minor electrical outages and flooding throughout my area.
 * Extratropical Storm Frances (2004): Still a young one when Frances hit, we were basically brushed by the outer bands of the cyclone. Nothing really happened.
 * Remnants of Hurricane Ivan (2004): Ivan brought loads of rain and wind upon striking northeast Ohio. Some damage is thrust upon trees and electrical wires.
 * Extratropical Storm Arlene (2005): Mainly fringe effects from Arlene were reported as it moved over southern Michigan.
 * Extratropical Storm Dennis (2005): Dennis mainly produced some locally heavy rainfall over my area as it passed well to the west.
 * Remnants of Hurricane Katrina (2005): As Katrina passed directly over Cleveland, very heavy rainfall was reported. Accumulations went up to at least one inch in some areas. Some flooding was reported throughout northeast Ohio, while the storm also brought down trees and caused sporadic power outages. Even as an extratropical cyclone, Katrina was generally very destructive.
 * Remnants of Hurricane Ernesto (2006): Mainly just strong breezes and rain showers after getting caught in the outer rainbands of this storm.
 * Remnants of Tropical Storm Fay (2008): Very similar to Ernesto, Fay mainly brought light rainfall to my area as it moved over central Pennsylvania.
 * Extratropical Depression Gustav (2008): Gustav was initially a significantly less destructive storm than what I expected. Mainly just wind gusts and fringe effects.
 * Extratropical Storm Ike (2008): Ike was a very serious and damaging storm. I estimate wind gusts were up to 60 miles per hour at the time it hit. The storm blew out transformers all throughout my town, and damage to trees was heavy. A large tree in my backyard lost several huge limbs that almost crushed our pool. In addition, one of my neighbor's trees had a branch come down on their house while they were sleeping, causing damage to their roof. Surprisingly, we never lost power despite the amount of transformer damage throughout my neighborhood.
 * Remnants of Tropical Storm Lee (2011): Lee barely did much as it tracked northward across Ohio. Mainly just overcast skies and occasional sprinkles.
 * Remnants of Hurricane Isaac (2012): Once again, Isaac had minimal effects on me as it crossed the central United States.
 * Extratropical Storm Sandy (2012): Sandy, alongside Ike, was undoubtedly the worst storm to strike my area. I experienced adverse conditions for nearly three days due to the sheer expansion of this cyclone. I estimate at least one gust was hurricane-force. Producing tropical storm-force sustained winds of at least 50 miles per hour for at least twelve hours, damage was extensive and widespread. Power was out to my entire town for nearly two days. In addition, my basement endured minor flooding, while my neighbor's garage caught fire. And still a branch from a tree in my backyard was snapped by high winds, crushing our neighbor's fence. Finally, school was cancelled for two days straight due to water intrusion and a window broken by a flying tree branch. There really is no other storm that compares to this.
 * Remnants of Tropical Storm Bill (2015): Bill was the most recent storm strike in memory. Damage was a little heavier than anticipated, as torrential rainfall induced some flash flooding throughout northeast Ohio. In addition, widespread power outages were reported (though I never did lose power).
