Cyclone Dilan

Cyclone Dilan
== == Super Typoon Dilan, part of the 2049 Kiong Ocean & Gulf of Savan Cyclone Season, is regarded as one of the worst natural disasters in history. Originating from an area of Low Pressure southeast of Donfre, it slowly organised over the day. By the next day, it had become a Tropical Storm, and recieved the name ‘Dilan’ from the YOLO Meteorological Department (YMD). Continuing to slowly organise, on January 7 Dilan was upgraded by the SKM Meteorological Department (SKMMD) to a Category 1 Tropical Cyclone and the YMD followed suit, upgrading it to a ‘Tropical Cyclone’. YOLO was for the first time in 5 years put under a Cyclone Warning, but Dilan did not make landfall. Instead, Dilan turned to the Southeast, making landfall on North RIP Island. It rapidly intensified to a Category 3 before making landfall on Little RIP Island and quickly crossing the Strait to the Big Island before moving slightly more east and making a Fourth landfall on Cayman Island. Dilan left the RIP Islands, and now over open water, underwent more rapid intensification to a Category 5 Very Severe Tropical Cyclone on the SKM Scale, with the YMD upgrading it to a Super Typhoon a few hours later. Dilan headed south, towards Lukopia, but turned east before landfall. Dilan moved over even warmer waters near Bay Town and became a Category 7 Extreme Tropical Cyclone late on 10 January 2049, the first storm in history to do so. Then, on 11 January, Dilan made landfall at peak intensity in the city of Bay Town, capital of Kanin. Winds of 202 mph shredded the city to pieces, and over 2,400 were killed. Damage there alone cost more than $122 Billion, and the city would be affected for years afterwards. Dilan then moved offshore, limiting weakening, though it was now a regular Category 5. Dilan crossed the Bay of Khand, and made landfall at Halbarad Point in SKM. Dilan hugged the coast, heading northeast, before moving over the far-eastern Gulf of Savan and making its Seventh, and final, landfall in the port of Arjkiam, Savan as a Category 4. Then, the storm moved eastwards over southern Savan, weakening to a Tropical Storm before affecting New Cat City in far-southern UKS and weakening to a depression and dissipating near some mountains near the UKS-SKM border.
