Storm of the century!
« on: July 22, 2017, 11:29:33 am »
Scouts and priests of the temple will be spreading word that an extreme weather event is about to occur in Lismore, and that it's citizens should take all necessary precautions to stay safe and protect their property!

For the next week or so, Lismore will experience a severe weather event, a long-lasting storm which will exhibit torrential downpours, cold weather, almost constant thunder and lightning, and severe winds 50-72 mph in speed.

Outside visibility is limited, Lismore's airships have been grounded for the duration of the storm, and fliers are strongly recommended not to take flight between islands during this period of harsh weather, as strong gusts of wind can easily disrupt flight and result in extreme injury or death.

While this weather does not seem magical or summoned in nature, Lismore's citizens are recommended by the city guard to be careful, both for reasons of personal safety, and in case anyone should choose to use this period of extreme weather as an opportunity to try and take advantage of it's citizens.

After several long days of rain and storming, the violent torrent has finally come to an end. There's several days of work to do repairing damages in most parts of the Empire - Princess Alyssa calls on all able-bodied citizens to assist wherever they can!

DAMAGE REPORT

- During the thunderstorm, several lightning strikes have hit the islands in various places, causing damage especially to several large trees.

- Much plantlife has drowned due to the excessive waters, and most crops have died from the cold temperatures & oversaturation of water in the soil.

- Powerful winds and heavy rainfall has caused shingles to loosen and fall off of several buildings, resulting in leaks. Particularly the Rabbit Hole Inn, the Smithy, Fennecia & the Granary would be affected by this.

- Most of Lismore's pavement has suffered damage, cracks and swelling in the mortar as well as displaced rocks. Further inspection for water damage & assessment of whether it will be necessary to repave the streets will be necessary.

- The well is contaminated with debris like papers, leaves, twigs and other small objects the wind has carried with it.

- Some of Lismore's signposts have been wrecked & are either missing or hanging by one remaining chain.

- Likely the banner hanging off of the LIAA building has been ruined.

- The banners hanging from the palace have detached from their poles & are nowhere to be found.

- The arena sand has been turned completely to mud & must be replaced if the area's intended to be used anytime soon. The arena sand has been replaced with finer, high-quality Saharan sand.

- The lumber mill's waterwheel will need maintenance and repairs.

- The Temple's supply of fur has taken a severe hit due to high demand to protect various areas of the islands from damage, and have become unusable. The Temple will require donations or extra furs to replace their lost supply.

- As the weather affected the desert isles as well, most of the sand has been turned into mud. Nothing to do but wait for it to become sand again.

- The airships Morning Star and Skycutter have taken considerable damage, rendering their rudder sails unusable and in need of repairs/replacement, and shattered glass due to flying debris.

The ramau bakery would have donated surplus baked goods (ie. whatever they couldn't eat after 3 days) including bread and pastries to the people at New Eden.
(Mahari braved the storm to make the delivery)

Through the combined efforts of Vheljen Valentine & Ra'id Na'Vaari, the soiled sand has been removed from the arena and replaced with fine, high quality Saharan sand.
