The Storm
Weather's getting bad, folks. This week we're having some nasty weather rolling in running from Tuesday until the next over the weekend.
After the storm we'll be revealing the Pigeons, and note that the phones will short out during this time.
Here's the itinerary.
The calm before the storm. There's a nice breeze to offset the increased humidity.
The characters will notice that it's cloudier than normal today; the sun is being blocked out every few moments by fluffy white cotton ball clouds. It's just like a semi-cloudy day at the beach, nice and balmy with wind gusts up to 35 MPH.
The day starts off with sporadic showers all through the morning, culminating with a short but heavy downpour shortly after noon. After that the skies clear up, and they remain that way on through the evening.
The sun is glaring harshly down on the castle, today, scattering the mists only to reveal a dark, intimidating bank of clouds on the horizon. Strong breezes and powerful gusts of wind proceed the clouds, growing stronger as the storm approaches.
The storm finally strikes on Friday afternoon, weak at first but growing stronger as the day passes. Expect thunder, lightning, frequent rain, periodic hail, and mild flooding in the outdoor areas. It rages through the evening and on into Saturday. There's a brief calm Saturday afternoon at the eye of the storm passes over the castle, but it only lasts a few hours before the storm continues on its way.
The storm hits its peak at dawn on Sunday, the wind howling throughout the castle and the rain coming down in sheets. It calms after several hours, but still rages on through Monday.
The storm is finally moving on, the rain fading away into a drizzle as the clouds go on their merry way. The thunder can be heard rumbling in the distance for several hours, but the storm seems to be gone for good.
The skies have cleared and the water has receded, but the damage still remains. The winds have knocked fruit, branches, and leaves off the trees, and several of the trees themselves have been felled by the storm. There are shallow puddles under almost all of the open windows, and the wind has located most objects that were left outside.

Enjoy the nasty weather. We also encourage a little bit of character organization during this time, characters getting together and talking about their predicament. Anyone care to lead this?
