Overview
The 2018 Delkraneiysia Hurricane season was a slightly above average or about average year of typical tropical formations within 700 miles of DK, in the Delkran Sea and the Great Ocean. We saw an impressive amount of major hurricanes, 9, compared to the average 6. The season will close on August 12th, however there have been 4 years that hurricanes formed past this date, 2004, 2012, 2014, 2017. We expect this year will complete after Storm Whitney in September. Waters are still quite warm, warmer than normal which will allow for a few more tropical systems, but likely no major storms. Waters are expected to cool in early September, or even late August, we expect maybe 2-3 more storms could form in that time.

Amy
Amy started off as a strong line of thunderstorms then it began strengthening and organizing. It reached its peak intensity that same day and quickly weakened as it continued moving.

Bob
Bob formed the same day, right on the heels of Amy. Therefore, Bob wasn’t able to strengthen much past 50mph. Both storms remained off shore.

Charlie
A strong Cat 2 storm cutting right into Delcore City, as a tropical storm, 2 days after peak intensity. The storm is responsible for over 450,000 in damages.

Dennis
A medium sized storm that saw a peak of a C2 this morning, and continued to grow during the afternoon, the storm stayed the same heading towards Delkraneiysia. The storm is expected to dissipate within the start of May 3rd. The storm is expected to still drive gusty winds and plenty of rain. High elevations could pick up a few inches of snow. The storm made landfall on the Plymouth peninsula at around 1:20pm May 2nd. The storm hit as a tropical storm, and caused about 300,000 in damages.

Hurricane Emily
A very strong storm that hit a peak intensity of 200mph on Friday May 18th. Storm to likely weaken this weekend, and continue to weaken this week to dissipate late week. This was not but was close to being the largest storm in delkraneiysia recordbooks. Emily is responsible for about 24 million in damages on coastal regions as a passed close enough to shore to have its gusty outer bands hit the coast, producing severe thunderstorms, and several tornadoes. The storm traveled south and the weather improved very much, but a true landfall hit on Friday night the 18, after a weakening on Friday afternoon. All schools and businesses are closed and all citizens are expected to stay home and shelter in their homes or in community shelters during the storm. Exact time of landfall was Friday evening. ( 9:30pm Eastern) Emily caused significant damage and catastrophic conditions that are persistent and are likely to be fixed by 2-4 weeks time. Power may be out for several weeks or even months. Landfall was as a C4, With winds up to 135mph, and deconstructed well built houses, downed trees, power lines destroyed, and over 17M in flood damage. Emily was possibly the strongest storm in DK Hurricane History. It had completely wiped Plymouth with the eye of the storm passing quickly overhead.

Evacuations were ordered for all residents who lived within 50 miles of the cone. After a destructive landfall Emily heads back into the ocean but colder waters, started to further weaken the storm. Emily finally weakened to a tropical depression on May 22nd, 4 days after impact. On June 4th, Citizens, weather geeks, and members from The Delkraneiysia National Hurricane Center (TDNHC), as well as government officials congregated for a weather convention to discuss the first half of the hurricane season. The government officials stated the stats of over 300 deaths, 25 billion in damages, and the fact power and utilities will be off until further notice. Also at the convention, the government and TDNHC officials have RETIRED the name EMILY from further use on the Delkraneiysia Hurricane Name Board.

Frederick
A small quick storm that produced high winds, heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes upon landfall on Tuesday afternoon May 15th. Affected Delcore City, New York and surrounding towns within its 45 mile wide span.

Gale
Gale was announced a tropical storm after being an invest for almost a week. Favorable conditions were present allowing it to strengthen very quickly reaching TS status in about 36 hours. Gertrude started to weaken shortly after, and dissipated over water a few days later.

Henry
Henry was announced as a tropical storm at around 11:45am, May 27th. Henry gained much strength and power when it absorbed Gale to become a larger storm. It entered the Delkraneiysian Ocean shortly after confirmation. It is 500 miles offshore, and could hit Delcore City as a hurricane around June 1st. The storm arrived in DK waters on May 29th, as a strong cat 2 storm. Shortly after at 1:30pm, it was declared a Category 3 storm. A much more clear path is now pointing to a landfall near or on Delcore City. It had been upgraded last night to a mid-end Category 4 storm with 140mph winds. Storm is to weaken as it closes in on landfall, likely tonight. Henry made landfall as a C4(130mph) about 36 hours after peak intensity. The storm stalled and brought 3.5 feet of rain to Delcore City, and some very gusty winds. The eye hit DC on June 2nd-3rd with 130mph winds, but quickly weakened over land, the storm was declared as no longer a tropical system as of 2:00pm on Sunday.

Inga
A Delkraneiysia Sea Hurricane that hardly moved which allowed it to grow in size, which on June 6th was its peak intensity of about a cat 2 with winds of 110mph. The storm made a TS landfall on a national park, but did minimal damage. Only small buildings were damaged, and some trees came down. The system as a tropical storm made it all the way to the upper parts of the Summerland Peninsula. A few small towns were also affected, but nothing major.

Johnston
A small but still dangersome storm made landfall in DK with winds of 50mph, with lots of rain, causing mass flooding, and some landslides on hilly areas.

Kathleen
Explosively formed and intensified on June 18th. The storm peaked on Sunday, June 24th at 165mph. Storm did not make landfall, and dissipated over water a few days later.

Landen
C1 Storm that also grew fast, reaching its peak about a day after formation on Thursday. This storm weakened as quick as it grew, as strong wind sheer arrived on Saturday. The storm as of 6pm Monday was a tropical storm, but dissipated this Tuesday.

Mandy
Probly one of the worst storms this year, that like it’s proceders, the storm rapidly intensified at an alarming rate, possibly even record speed. the storm went from confirmation to D6 in about 14 hours. The water was very warm, hot even, and very low sheer, no competition, and the storm really succeeded at being a monster. The storm formed on Thursday evening, and grew on Friday, to its enormous size, that it would hold for a staggering 28 hours before letting go due to serious eyewall replacement cycles.—— Outer and off coast territory islands were battered by the storm and practically wiped right off the map on Sunday. Many once paradise islands are now hell on earth, and are expected to stay like that for months, even up to 2 years to repair everything that was destroyed or damaged. it was announced that those isands are never to be redevdeloped again as hurricanes are common and the people are in too harsh of an environment. It has now been converted to a national park. About 94% of those islands population took the advisories seriously and took the emergency evacuation flights to the United States 🇺🇸, Canada 🇨🇦, Russia 🇷🇺, Mexico 🇲🇽, or Brazil 🇧🇷. The flights were free of charge and were paid for by the government.

Nicole
Nicole was announced a tropical storm on June 21st at the 8pm advisory, making it the 5th storm to form in a week, it should also be the last. A major storm forecast could mean high surf and flooding possible on the shoreline. Nicole quickly intensified as there is no competition and NO sheer to stop or limit growth. Nicole had then surpassed Emily to become the world's strongest storm with 225mph winds. The storm did not make interaction with land and thus weakened and dissipated out to sea. High surf however was a problem as well as severe rip currents that were responsible for hospitalizing several dozen.

Omar
A large tropical low formed into Tropical Storm Omar late on June 24th. Favorable conditions were favorable for half its life, then quickly turning unfavorable. Omar was able to pull off C4, when it reached 145mph, but the unfavorable conditions caught up to it and the sheer broke it up.

Paula
Storm that grew to TS status by July 15th. Paula then started to weaken as it approached land. The main effect from Paula, was mass power outages throughout coastal DK as Paula meandered just south of the coast. Paula caused the coast to see thunderstorms and severe weather on July 17 when it finally made landfall as a subtropical storm.

Quincy
A small brief tropical storm that stayed enough offfshore it only drew up high tide. It stayed about 150 miles offshore. winds did exceed 75mph, but was poorly built which was ultimately the reason for its demise. Quincy was actually in pretty favorable conditions for developing into at least a C2, but, it was too far behind on its development.

Riley
Small storm but was still able to become a tropical storm, but weakened shortly after. Was the first of 3 storms to form.Unfavorable conditions and seasonably cooling waters did not allow Riley to grow very much.

Steven
While Riley was farther north, Steven, about 100 miles south, Steven still witnessed cooling waters and competitive sheer that prevented Steven from achieving C1 status. Steven was only 5mph from becoming an uncommon August Hurricane.

Tiffany
Now a rare major August hurricane, Tiffany is wrecking havoc in Hurricane Mandy wastelands, the storm was able to further the damage and retard the rehabilitation of the islands.

Uma
Rare Delkran Sea storm of hurricane intensity that underwent good intensification, and achieved C2 status in about 2 days. Uma held peak intensity for about 36 hours before weakening as it headed into colder waters off of Hollywood District. High winds were definitely a problem in coastal arias as weakening Uma made landfall as a C1, with 90mph winds. Uma was responsible for hospitalizing 2 dozen and causing several million in damages.

Vincenzo
Small hurricane, reaching 90mph, Vincenzo stopped growing as a result of wind sheer and cold waters off of Ocean City. Vincenzo missed land even though a hit was expected.
