Description Story: What started as a cloudy day with occasional rain showers and snow on March 6th, 1965. Quickly turned to what would be a total unprecedented disaster when small funnel clouds touched down 3 miles from the suburban and still growing Stickopolis. Those initial funnel clouds then combined together in power, and what the supercell’s power could do, into a giant tornado that consumed farms, factories, and houses outside the city. Palaceburg was just hit by a tornado earlier in the day that was much less deadly than the Stickopolis Tornado Disaster. Doppler Radar in its earliest heydays wasn’t able to accurately predict where the tornado was headed, and was only heavily relied on by storm spotters during that time. After hours of tracking the tornado down many roads, dirt paths, highways, and neighborhoods, the tornado was already taking its first casualties and houses as it crossed the newly established community of “Pleasant Hills” just a hair away from the city limits of Stickopolis. By the time it did reach the city limits, the tornado evolved spontaneously into a supergiant, engulfing an entire neighborhood block in seconds and destroying the homes in its path. Wind speeds matched directly far beyond an EF5 as it began to tear away and sweep homes off its foundations as it moved ever so slightly toward the Downtown Core. The width of the destruction measured 2 miles wide at its maximum width, the winds were even powerful enough to bring down a section of a highway bridge crossing over suburban streets and literally level even the strongest buildings in the city. As The Dictator was about to take shelter, the tornado began to gradually shrink and weaken as it was only just a hair strand away from Downtown, after taking out thousands and thousands of houses and taking the lives of 600+ people, the tornado shrunk to a considerable size to not be a threat, however the winds were still strong enough to shatter the windows of the skyscrapers and blow antennas off the buildings. As it neared the capital, the tornado finally lifted, and only left a gale that would reach the capital. 


The damage in total costed almost $2 billion dollars, and the tornado took the lives of 680+ citizens of the city, and even after the tornado struck the city, there was widespread fear of another stronger tornado hitting the city again and take out the downtown area. But after many days passed without anymore storms, the city began to repair and rebuild. However, a little portion of the tornado’s scar was preserved even after the Stickanian Revolution concluded to serve as a reminder of what was the most costliest and deadliest tornado in Stickania’s history. A museum was established at the Tornado’s scar, and the destruction path was restored to a historic park in the 2000s. The legacy lives on as an unforgettable event that the city had to endure. But even the scientists were still shocked by the immense power the tornado possessed, and it’s unusual width contributed to many, many research’s about why the tornado gained that much power compared to other tornadoes that struck the country.
