Hurricane Baszucki (2019)

Hurricane Baszucki was a hurricane that affected Robloxia. It was the 2nd named storm and 2nd hurricane of the 2019 Bloxington hurricane season.

Meteorological Synopsis
On October 22, an area of disturbed weather formed in the Bloxaribbean. It developed a low-pressure area the next day, and the Robloxia Hurricane Center gave it a 20% chance to develop. Environmental conditions were favorable for development. As the area of disturbed weather became better organized, the chances for development increased. The area was at a 60% chance of development on October 24. Organization continued, and it was at a 90% chance of development early on October 25. It then became organized enough to be declared a tropical depression on the afternoon of October 26.

Late that day, the depression became strong enough to become Tropical Storm Baszucki. It was the latest 2nd named storm on record in the Bloxington since 2012. When it formed, Baszucki was noted as a potential threat to Brickland and New Bloxico in the long term, West Robloxia. Due to favorable environmental conditions, almost all forecasts said that Baszucki would become a hurricane before landfall in Brickland and New Bloxico. The forecasts came true on October 28 when Baszucki became an October hurricane, before making landfall there. It made landfall early on October 29 with winds of 85 mph. There, it brought heavy rains and very strong winds.

Baszucki weakened into a tropical storm before emerging into Wisconsin and Bloxorado. After emerging into Wisconsin and Bloxorado, Baszucki has become a moderate to big threat for West Robloxia. This was because environmental conditions continued to be favorable, and most forecasts said it would become a Category 2 before landfall. On October 30, Baszucki strengthened back into a C1 in between the states of East Bloxifornia and Bloxoming. The forecasts came true on October 31 when it strengthened into a C2, before hitting Roblox City. started to rapidly weaken over West Robloxian mountains. Baszucki dissipated on November 1 over West Robloxia. Overall, Baszucki caused R$7.299 trillion (Robloxia dollars) in damage and 5,122 deaths. 3,842 of the deaths were indirect, and the rest were direct. 5,122 of the deaths happened in Roblox City. Also, 1,921 Robloxians were missing. Due to the advanced technology and very strict building codes of 2019, the damage is much less than it would have been.

Brickland, New Bloxico
When Baszucki formed, a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch was issued for Brickland and New Bloxico. This was because it was predicted to strike the area as a minimal hurricane. When Baszucki came closer to Brickland and New Bloxico, the hurricane watches were upgraded to warnings. The hurricane and tropical storm watches and warnings extended as far south as Bloxico. When the hurricane warning was issued, people were told to evacuate or stay inside (if they lived in a strong and recently built home) through the passage of the hurricane.

In Brickland and New Bloxico, the hurricane caused no damage and killed no one, despite there being flash floods.

West Robloxia
After Baszucki left Brickland and New Bloxico, it was monitored as a moderate to big threat to West Robloxia. Because it was predicted to become a C2 before landfall, a hurricane watch was issued for the parts of West Robloxia where it was most likely going to make landfall. A tropical storm watch was issued in the areas less likely for Baszucki to make landfall, but the rain bands would still affect the areas. After Baszucki strengthened into a hurricane, the hurricane watch was upgraded to a warning, and watches and warnings covered most of Western Robloxia and southern Bloxalberta. Robloxians were told to evacuate, or if they are in a strong home, stay inside. Once it strengthened into a C2, Robloxians were told to take immediate action. Many Robloxians evacuated, while the Robloxians that did not evacuate either boarded up their homes or did nothing. The people who did nothing were risking their lives in the storm.

Once Baszucki made landfall, it caused flooding that killed 5,122 Robloxians and caused R$7.299 trillion dollars in damage. 3,842 of the deaths were indirect. Also, 1,921 Robloxians were missing.
