π WILD WEATHER β Hurricane Update
This might be the coolest weather yet. Tornadoes hit fast and hard, but a hurricane is a different kind of dread. It's a long, named, phased mega storm that rolls over your lot in stagesβ¦ including the iconic, deceptive calm of the eye. π

π NEW: HURRICANES
βββββββββββββββββββββ
A slow, sprawling coastal-style storm that unfolds in real phases over several hours:
π§οΈ OUTER BANDS β the wind and rain build, a Hurricane Warning sounds, get everyone inside.
π₯ FRONT EYEWALL β landfall. The worst of it: driving rain, screaming wind, the power goes out, and outdoor property takes a battering.
ποΈ THE EYE β an eerie, dead calm falls as the eye passes directly overhead. The sky lightens, the wind dropsβ¦ but don't be fooled. It won't last.
π₯ BACK EYEWALL β the storm slams back in from the OTHER direction. Stay sheltered β it's not over.
βοΈ CLEARING β the hurricane finally moves out to sea. Time to survey the damage and clean up.
π·οΈ NAMED & RATED
Every hurricane gets a name and a Category 1-5 rating β "Category 3 Hurricane Bella is making landfall!" A Cat 5 is a rare monster; most storms are milder. The warnings tell you exactly what you're facing.
π‘οΈ RIDE IT OUT
β’ It's serious but NON-LETHAL β Sims caught outside are herded indoors and left terrified and soaked, but a hurricane won't kill them.
β’ During the warning, use Take Shelter to rally the household in and Secure Outdoor Items to storm-proof the yard (the same prep tools as tornadoes).
β’ Expect a long power outage (a day or two) and widespread property damage β clean it up with the repair + insurance loop, same as any storm.
π WHEN
Hurricanes roll in rarely during late summer & fall (hurricane season) on any lot β or summon one whenever you like.
