The Great 1993 Halloween Hurricane!

On October 30, Hurricane Delta came alive. The 1993 Pacific season had already had letters A-W, and was moving on to the Greek alphabet. It was never detected until the next day, right when it hit. It moved back and forth along the coast of California, as if it was waiting to attack. The next day, Halloween. Trick and treaters everywhere. Hurricane Delta was already a Category 4, and surprisingly no one had detected it. NO ONE. At approximately 8:43 pm, when all the little children were collecting their candies and treats, Delta snuck up on northwest California. It was like a tsunami from the sky. Delta sent a storm surge 13 miles, which was EXTREMELY rare. It wiped out little children, mobile homes and everything. But no one could prepare and Delta had already spawned 3 tornadoes, 2 being EF1,the other an EF2. Little did anyone know, the National Weather Service had issued a hurricane warning one hour before when Delta was just discovered. Unfortunately,all the candy was lost and there were 13 deaths, 10 of them being simple visitors to the beach. Delta cost $7 billion in damage and hopefully there is never a hurricane like Delta again.
