Sorry for any inconvenience, but I pushed the final update for early tomorrow morning. I'm currently under the process of taking some new screenshots. Sorry for any inconvenience. Something will be up tomorrow no matter what. If I still have time tonight, I can do it as well, but I doubt it. -Vlad

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! -Vlad

Date:6/18/2004 9:35:49 AM Author:pansarkatt I never have disasters in my cities, so I really enjoy this CJ. Looking forward to watch the bitter end... quote> Thanks pansarkatt.

Yeah this looks great. Can't wait for it's release. -Vlad

Man, no comments still? After that major update yesterday? With 34 screenshots were uploaded yesterday. 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. All future journals will be announced tomorrow, be sure to check it out if you can. -Vlad

Can someone post some real-life pics of a stack exchange? Thanks. -Vlad

Now for this shot I need a little advice. I am thinking about doing it already but I wanted to ask everyone else as well. I think the exit lanes in the new stack need to be widened slightly. I don't know how much room a car takes up on the Maxis interchange while it is on the exit ramps, but I have a feeling that mine is a tad to narrow. I can make these changes very easily, but I wanted to make sure I need to do them first. I put the two interchanges together so you can compare the sizes of the exits ramps with each one. (Someone suggested early on that the ramps might be too small in my model. Well whoever you were, you were right ). Well what do you think? TGC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think this looks awesome, I think you should make the exit ramps wider and the median less wide. It would be great if you did that. If you can make the ramps just like the way the cloverleaf is then it would be excellent. Oh and if you can match the color with the cloverleaf, that would be even better. But that isn't necessary. Besides that great work on the Stack Exchange Chozo!! I can't wait for it's release. -Vlad

Oh and please comment, remember feel free to post anything questions or comments you may have. In fact I really like the comments I've been receiving. Thanks In Advance -Vlad

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. -Vlad

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. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files/foresttornado91.jpg> 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. -Vlad

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. -Vlad

Wow I like the resort. Great improvements Whiteshark. -Vlad

Wow this CJ has a bit of everything in it. Outstanding job. -Vlad

Thanks, frogface. I must add that your buildings are incredible. Great Job on the BAT and keep up the good work. -Vlad

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. -Vlad

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. -Vlad

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... -Vlad

Great Job Whiteshark, I like the bridge, if that bridge were built in real life, I probably would never drive on it. Since I'm afraid of heights . Anyway, great job on the construction of F-248. Keep it Up Whiteshark. I can't wait to see the city's future. -Vlad

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. -Vlad

Guess whos the first best state? New York!! LOL Anyway, I've been here since last March. My name is Vladimir, but you can call me Vlad and I live in New York. I used to live in the city but I recently moved to Baldwin, Long Island New York. I will be a Junior (next year). I go to Baldwin Senior High School, nice to meet everyone. -Vlad

Great updates whiteshark, I believe these are way below average temperatures too. 61 degrees. That must a relief for the citizens of Crystal Junction. -Vlad

Why not check out Palm City II in the meantime, I just updated the journal not too long ago with the highway signs and the Downtown 2060 earlier today. -Vlad
