Meteorological History
On August 2, an area of low pressure emerged off the southern coast of Blurryface and strengthened into a tropical storm, gaining the name "Fin" This made it the lowest latitude named storm on record in the basin.

Fin underwent rapid intensification, and strengthened into a Category 2 Storm by August 4. Hurricane warnings were put into affect for the northwestern coast of Blurryface. The city of Polarize was under a mandatory evacuation, as well as many of the surrounding cities.

Fin rapidly intensified yet again into an extremely powerful Category 5 hurricane. With sustained winds of 175 mph, and gusts of 200 mph. Making it the strongest storm ever recorded in the basin.

Fin made landfall in the city of Polarize on August 5 with sustained winds of 170 mph. Making it the strongest system to ever affect the continent. Fin also brought in a storm surge of 5.67 feet. This surge swamped the area, causing a great deal of damage. Fin also dropped an estimated 5 inches of rain. Adding to the surge level.

Fin weakened to a Category 1 storm before reentering the ocean, in which it the made a U turn back towards the peninsula. However, Fin weakened to a tropical depression before landfall, and dissipated completely on August 11.
