Spawn storms
Drop up to six systems offshore with the Spawn button, then drag any storm to steer it toward the coast.

Hurricane Sandbox
Spawn hurricanes, drag them into a headwind, warm the water, and unleash them on Florida. Every landfall is a verdict: track peak winds, central pressure, storm surge, and a running damage total as the systems spin, lurch, and strike the coastline.

Command Deck
Dial the ocean
Warm the sea surface to fuel intensification, or add wind shear to tear weak systems apart before landfall.
Set the steering flow
Point the steering winds and set their speed to aim storms at the cities, or let them wander out to sea.
Watch it make landfall
When a center crosses the coast, watch surge, sustained winds, and billions in damage roll in on the readouts.
How to steer the storm
- 01Spawn a storm offshore, then set sea surface temp high and shear low to let it spin up to a major.
- 02Point steering direction toward the peninsula and raise steering speed so the storm tracks inland.
- 03Drag any storm to nudge its path, and watch the surge gauge climb as the eye nears the coastline.
- 04Keep an eye on wind shear: cranked up, it will strangle even a warm-water monster before it strikes.
