2021 Bloxburg Tornado

The 2021 Bloxburg Tornado was a violent and costly, EF4-rated tornado that struck Bloxburg in the night hours of Independence Day 2021. In all, three Robloxians were killed, along with 48 injuries, and R$503.7 billion (2021 R$) in damages. Robloxians kept safe at their homes. This tornado is notable for destroying outer Bloxburg, rendering it entirely gone, while leaving inner Bloxburg unscathed. It took until the end of July in Outer Bloxburg to return to normalcy. This led to mass exoduses of Outer Bloxburg to inner Bloxburg, and its two nearby towns, Gatersley and Yaurin.

Meteorological Synopsis
Prior to the EF4 touch down, the citizens of Bloxburg prepared for Independence Day by buying fireworks (particularly the fountain and huge variants), candles, and other decorative items, such as sparklers, special effect projectors, and rockets. Some Robloxians purchased tents, camping equipment, garage doors, and furniture on this day, while some Robloxians purchased fireplaces and marshmallows. Some Robloxians visited the campsite. Some Robloxians chose to bulldoze their homes. Some Robloxians went to Boomer's Fireworks to purchase fireworks. Some Robloxians purchased barrel grills, steak, and corn on the cob.

Plans for Independence Day were booming [no pun intended]. Many Robloxians thought it was going to be a good time. Robloxians were going to chatter while the fireworks go off. However, this occurred:

A mesocyclone developed in Julschmit, and it was visible from Gatersley, Yaurin, Itorl, Adlovo, and Calnot, prompting a tornado watch for those towns. Eventually, a funnel developed in Julschmit.

An EF4 touched down on Independence Day to Julschmit, a town in Bloxburg Valley. It was visible from Adlovo, prompting a tornado warning for both Adlovo and Julschmit. The twister developed in front of Robloxians at a party barn and farm, where videos show the tornado forming and growing to a half mile wide. One video just showed Robloxians freaking out. Some Robloxians decided to chase the rapidly growing tornado, and some Robloxians went in their basements.

As it passed north of there, the tornado struck a small barn at 103 mph winds, causing the entire small barn to overturn and essentially causing EF1 damage. Moving towards the east-northeast, the twister passed over the northern subdivisions of Julschmit, collapsing inward several garage doors belonging to family residences, essentially obtaining the tornado an EF2 rating at 119 mph winds and upgrading the tornado warning to a PDS tornado warning. The tornado widened to a mile wide and started causing EF4 damage at 175 mph winds, completely destroying single wide manufactured homes and blowing away their debris; double wide manufactured homes were completely destroyed, and their debris blew away; most apartments reported collapsed walls on the top stories; motels reported their top two floors collapsed. This prompted an upgrade from a PDS tornado warning to a Tornado Emergency. A truck was almost destroyed by a lamp post. A masonry apartment was struck directly at EF4 strength and reported their top two floors collapsed. There were about 52 Robloxians inside; incredibly, only one Robloxian died here. The twister then turned towards the northeast, striking a residential area between Julschmit and Adlovo, where EF4 damage occurred with a few small retail buildings totally destroyed. Adlovo was spared with the tornado passing just a mile to the west. Moving, the tornado targeted directly Outer Bloxburg. On its path, small professional buildings reported total destruction; more farms got swept clean and asphalt was destroyed as well.

The Outer Bloxburg-Adlovo Regional Airport was totally destroyed. Windows and planes were not immune from the said total destruction. A corporation was totally destroyed, while a fast-food restaurant and a supercenter also suffered total destruction. Other restaurants in the area were totally destroyed before the tornado passed right through the middle of Outer Bloxburg, where it suffered total destruction. Every area in Outer Bloxburg became the worst hit, with total destruction to numerous homes. A museum, a masonic temple, a sheriff building, and a courthouse all suffered total destruction. Homes were totally destroyed, including their foundations. All trees left standing lost all parts of their bodies, cars were flipped over and totally destroyed, and gardens were totally destroyed, including their grass; debris and totally destroyed and flipped over cars fell down from the sky on the totally destroyed football and baseball fields. More total destruction occurred to the north, especially in and around a park where all the water was sucked out of a swimming pool and the pool itself temporarily became a muddy hole and was totally destroyed after as all the materials it was made of were taken aloft.

Two tennis fields were totally destroyed as they were reduced to mud as well and all the trees were completely debarked and reduced to splinters, which were further totally destroyed. As it exited Outer Bloxburg, the tornado caused EF4 damage to a last subdivision and turned sharply towards the east, passing just north of a strip mall where numerous strip mall visitors made a mistake, seeking shelter under a strip mall as a large section of the strip mall was completely destroyed. A large shopping mall reported the collapse of interior walls. The twister, now a 119 mph EF2, uplifted the HVAC of a large, isolated retail building. From there, the tornado weakened rather quickly and turned to a funnel cloud.

On its long path, the tornado caused only 3 fatalities and injured 48 Robloxians. This miraculously low death toll was caused by a Tornado Emergency issued for the Outer Bloxburg area as the tornado was causing severe damage in Julschmit. In fact, one death occurred at a masonry apartment and two more in a strip mall. Nobody was killed in Outer Bloxburg. Experts said that because the tornado was heavily covered by local meteorologists in its stronger phases, a lot of Robloxians decided to evacuate north in the hail core of the storm before the twister got there and even more Robloxians evacuated knowing the potential for a violent and costly tornado in the area. Overall, this tornado was costly, with about 503.7 billion ROBUX in damage.

Sirens of ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks whaled throughout Outer Bloxburg and Julschmit.
