NATURE'S FURY

WINDY FURY

 

What more does nature have to offer to Commercial Venture? The fire continuosly burns in the city but there has been a new thing brewing while the fires have been burning. A Supercell. Supercells are highly uncommon in northern areas and especially cities. They mostly happen in grasslands. But could this be the first one to hit Commercial Venture? In this update we take a look at a Supercell which also wreaks havoc on the city. Which could also spawn something very deadly... Please read the mini story below. To understand how the next disaster happens.

 

Tornadoes? No one would ever thought a tornado would strike Commercial Venture, but warnings had been placed. Meteorologists have seen intense circulation inside the supercells. As we all now, supercells are individual thunderstorms that spawn tornadoes and contain hail and heavy lightning and heavy rain. The winds began to pick up fueling the fires. Meteorologists have issued a Tornado warning to the Commercial Venture Area. The tornado measured F4 on the fugita scale. Which is very intense especially in a metropolitan area. Many Sims panicked, some even fainted and had heart attacks. This was a very scary thought. Many Sims believed that the Tornado could go into the residential town of Centropolis. Lightning had ensured once again and the sky was black with clouds. Heavy lightning had crashed through the city. And the torrential downpours have begin. Then the winds picked up and picked up. Then the noise became deafning. The sound of thousands of freight trains all together have been heard, A Tornado is on the land of Commercial Venture. This tornado means business let see what happens now. Nature's worst has happened to Commercial Venture. Tornado's are natures strongest natural disasters. Nature has gotten even angrier.

 

 

The Tornado forms by the volcano and is headed straight for the city... This is an F4 on the fugita scale.

 

 

The tornado is on the cloverleaf interchange of the local highway.

 

 

The tornado has reached the city toward the burnt fields.

 

 

The tornado makes it's way to untouched buildings...

 

 

The tornado destroys anything that gets in its way. The building is blown away. The tall buildings are able to withstand the tornado though but the small ones are blown away.

 

 

The tornado is near the bus stop and building.

 

 

 

The tornado in the darkness destroys everything.

 

 

Streetlights and stores are exploded and blown away.

 

 

 

The tornado makes it's way towards the flea market. Those sims are dead. How sad. All they can do is just stand there. They have no source of transport and are trapped.

 

 

The Flea Markets are destroyed...

 

 

A close-up of the tornado destroying local shops streetlights and traffic signs... This tornado lasted 1 hour. The longest ever recorded on a metropolitan area.

 

 

The tornado makes it's way torwards the uptown area and destroys everything. All the little stores are gone. The highway signs are also blown away. The nexts screenshots will not contain any descriptions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Tornado last stop is at the bus stop, and then it ends. That's the end of the devasting tornado to hit Commercial Venture.

 

Well that's it for this update. Next we will look at the aftermath of these storms. And tomorrow we will continue the coverage of the Fire Inferno.

NATURE'S FURY

THE AFTERMATH I

 

 

Well, now that the tornado have striked, the fires continue to burn but here are some pictures that were taken while there were breaks in between the destruction. There will be many updates in which we will take a look at the city as a whole during breaks in the destruction. Here is the First one...

 

 

This is after the tornado has striked.

 

 

This happened after the first fire. This is truly a Ground Zero.

 

 

This is an overview of the city after a while...

 

That is all. For today's updates, check back tomorrow and we will look at the continuing fire and the Downtown Fire. All comming up tomorrow. Thank You for reading NATURE'S FURY.

-Vlad

[Vlad788 13]

[megaman 1]

NATURE'S FURY

FIRE IN DOWNTOWN

 

 

Sorry for the long delays, but Nature's Fury is Back in Action! We Start with the continuing fires to hit Downtown.

 

Well, the fires continue to spread, despite the tornado outbreak. In fact the tornado's winds fueled the fires in the city area. In this section we will take a look at the extensive continuing fires that plague the downtown area.

 

 

The blazes continue...

 

 

The buildings are being engulfed at the moment..., Ajjanagade has collapsed.

 

 

Here are a couple of Ajjanagades...

 

 

It is now nighttime and they still continue...

 

 

This fire is hot enough to melt anything in mere seconds, it is unknown how these buildings are still able to withstand these blazing infernos.

 

 

This set burns.

 

Well that is all for this mini update, the fires haven't been stopped. There will be more updates on the fires but next we are going to look at other fires and more problems to hit the city. Stay Tuned for the next update.

NATURE'S FURY

MORE SEISMIC WARNINGS

 

Remember the last update in which the volcano had erupted? Well signs show that another volcano is about to erupt this time in the main city. In this brief update we will take a look on why there is another volcanic eruption underway.

 

As we all now know, Commercial Venture is a highly seismic city. The previous Volcanic eruption was actually what caused the tornadoes, the fires and lightning. Because it made the atmosphere unstable. But is there another eruption waiting to occur? Seismologists entered the city even though it has been burning and nearly destroyed. They found a high sulfur content towards the midtown area. The city's water supply was a sulfer madhouse. There was also a large earthquake too. Earthquakes were signs that this volcano is about to erupt. This time inside the city. In Midtown. Nature's Fury continues now. This will cause more unstable airmasses and adding on the the impending problems. Midtown is a ticking time bomb and will erupt at any minute.

 

Stay Tuned for the anticipated event...

[Vlad788 13]

NATURE'S FURY

VOLCANIC FURY II

 

The midtown volcano is about to erupt now. In this update we will look at the midtown volcano and lava balls that have struck the city.

 

The midtown area has reached it's limits and a Volcano is about to erupt. Here are some pictures of the Eruptions.

 

 

The new volcano had erupted. Lava have been falling everywhere.

 

 

Another view of the Eruption.

 

 

This is the volcanic crater of the Midtown Volcano. A Volcanic Fury indeed...

 

 

The dirty smoke and lava plagues the city also adding more and more ash to the atmosphere making it even more unstable.

 

 

Lava begins to flow...

 

 

The eruptions even continue at night. The night eruption was the most potent one however, because this one did some big damage.

 

 

Balls like these were falling all over the city. Destroying anything it hits. Creating fire.

 

 

You can see how devastating this volcano is, buildings ignite quickly, others explode and then others simply melt away...

 

 

The Lava had destroyed everything in it's path.

 

Now we are going to take a look at the first Volcano known as Mount Venture. Which had also erupted. But this one was due to an Earthquake. This one happened when the city was still intact however so we are actually going to go back in time to look at this volcano.

 

 

The city was so nice when it was intact. Here are the earthquakes that caused the second eruption of Mount Venture.

 

 

This was the result of that quake.

 

 

This Volcano had happened again due to the earthquake.

 

 

The Volcano erupts yet again.

 

 

 

 

That is all the updates for today, besure to check Palm City II Journal as there will be an update on the new neighborhoods including South Island and Alley Island. Palm City has innaugerated a new monorail system as well, for all updates and to see them visit Palm City II in which you can click at my signature.

[SkyTearer 10]

Awesome disaster. Why don't the aliens come check try to abduct the few survivors?

[Vlad788 13]

I think the Alien, The Robot and the Autosaurus is way too unrealistic. So that's why I didn't add them to the Nature's Fury Journal.

NATURE'S FURY

THE MAIN FIRE OUTBREAK

 

Well, the fire is still going on despite the other disasters. There is a major fire brewing in the Downtown sector of Commercial Venture. In this update we will see the main fire outbreak.

 

These are the fires that had began in Downtown and show no signs of ending...

 

The Fires continue through the night...

 

 

Buildings become engulfed one after the other...

 

 

An overview of the disaster...

 

 

Wow the fires are becoming extreme

 

 

The buildings destroy immediately, while others ignite. When will this end?

 

 

Buildings continue to burn...

 

 

The wreckage...

 

 

Ajjanagade catches fire

 

 

Ajjanagade burns through the morning.

 

After this fire, the fires in Commercial Venture begin to die down. Nature has shown her wrath to the city, where will she strike next? We'll find out in the next update, so stay tuned.

NATURE'S FURY

FURY OUTSIDE THE CITY I

LIGHTINING AND TORNADOES

 

The Nature has done her job inside the city, but what's next now? In this update we will learn about the new disasters waiting to plague, Commercial Venture's Reserve.

 

Now that the disasters in the main city were over, we will now take a look at the disasters that now hit the exterior areas of the city. As we all know, the air is still unstable from the recent eruptions of the volcanos. The volcanoes are the cause for all these disasters, which happen one after another. Lightning had been striking the exterior portions of the city. Severe Weather was the next concern and what about those brushfires and forest fires? Lightning can cause those too. Lets take a look at these disasters.

 

Part One: The Tornado

 

There was yet another severe weather warning for the Commercial Venture area, so here are some pictures of some of the tornadoes that have spawned in the area.

 

 

 

A new F4 tornado on the Fujita Scale has been formed and is slated to attack the city with a vengence.

 

 

You can see how monstrous this tornado is.

 

 

You can see how potent this storm really is. Lightning and Tornadoes move toward the landfill area.

 

 

The tornado makes it's way to the landfill. Anything in it's path becomes severed in to pieces. It actually rips things apart rather than blowing them away. Its kind of like a blade with wind.

 

 

All the street lights that were there have been destroyed. The Tornado has moved over to the empty reserve, out of harms way.

 

After this tornado strikes another begins again let's take a look at it.

 

 

 

This one is another powerful F4 even stronger than the last one carrying rain, hail and lightning. You can see the darkness within this one.

 

 

Here is an upclose shot taken by a nearby helicopter which somehow survived the fury of this tornado.

 

 

Efforts have now began to be made to restore Commercial venture back to it's original state but despite that the tornado destroys the newly built highway signs. Lightning also causes the fires too.

 

 

FYI: These craters here were formed by the lava balls that came from the Volcanic Eruptions. You can see the lightning following the tornadoes.

 

 

Lightning has already ignited some trees. The Tornado is about to leave.

What? It actually turns back around. What a phenomenon, Tornadoes aren't supposed to turn like that so abruptly. Wow its so clear to everyone, that this city was meant to be destroyed.

 

 

 

 

The tornado crosses the highway...

 

 

The tornado makes it's way to the mini forest. Destroying all the trees obviously. This time is finally leaves.

 

That is all the tornadoes that have struct this city. Next we will take a look at the brushfires and lightning strikes. Stay tuned for the final update.

NATURE'S FURY

FURY OUTSIDE THE CITY II

EXTERIOR LIGHTNING AND BRUSHFIRES

 

After the Tornado, the lightning had remained. Several Lightning strikes had struck the exterior sections of Commercial Venture. In this update we will take a look at those lightning and brushfires.

 

 

This lightning strike had caused this brushfire to occur.

 

 

Lightning continues to strike the area.

 

 

Trees ignite after they are struct.

 

 

You could see the electrical current after the strike...

 

 

Here is an upclose shot of the lightning strike and the current it left behind.

 

 

Several brushes and trees ignite...

 

 

The lightning continues to strike

 

 

Yet another lightning strike...

 

 

Another strike, as you can see on the bottom image, the city is destroyed.

 

 

This is yet another strike.

 

Well that is all the updates for today. Be sure to check back on Friday for the conclusion of this Journal.On Friday we will look at the last fire, a new memorial in progress and the aftermath of all the disasters to strike commercial venture area. Thank You For Reading.

Hmm, anyway Tomorrow is the last day in which I will update Nature's Fury since the journal is close to an end. For more information please view the Action News on the title page.

I never have disasters in my cities, so I really enjoy this CJ. Looking forward to watch the bitter end...

[Chappington 131]

I just saw this update...

Anyway, good so far, but IMO, it's starting to become not as good. The thing is, in a disater journal, you can only stretch the plot so far, after that, it becomes predictable and repetitive. I must say though, I think you chose the perfect time to put it to sleep.

[Ninto 0]

I think you should turn the grids off when you take screenshots.

Other than that, it looks greats. It seems like you're having a lot of fun with the disasters in SC4. Fantastic.

[Nugget699 0]

Has anyone else noticed that those cities look a lot like the region play cities that you can download at the maxis site?

 

oh well, its coming along quite well Vlad, are you going to rebuild it once your finished?

[joexcooldude 1]

This is a great city journal, and I have been watching it for the beginning. You've finally posted what I do all of the time - burn buildings for fun.

NATURE'S FURY
ANSWERS TO REPLY QUESTIONS

It's good to answer questions at times don't you think? In this brief update we will take a look at the answers that I posted to the reply questions.

Nugget69,

Yup, you are correct nugget69, those are exactly the ones that I can download at the Maxis site. As for building it back we'll just have to wait and see. The main reason I used their cities and not mine was because that I really don't like to destroy my own creations. Notice that these cities were also pre-rush hour made too.

Ninto,

As for the grids Ninto, I completely forgot about it. The thing is that, I've already pre-taken the screenshots already, so I can't really undo this.

Splime,

I must say that your update is very good. But in this journal, the only thing I discuss was the Disasters itself. I also made mini stories in between to make it so it's not just Screenshots.

Joexcooldude,

Thanks for the compliment. It's just fun to burn those buildings sometimes.

STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL UPDATES SLATED TO BE RELEASED SOON!
