The Storm

The Storm was an event that started on May 23, 2021 in Pizzville. It was a bad thunderstorm that started with periodic strikes of lightning around Pizzville Tower, but quickly advanced to a heavy rain and more frequent lightning. A weather balloon, owned by Thanlamian, was sent up the side of Pizzville Tower to investigate. However, on May 25th, a strike of lightning destroyed the balloon and sent it crashing down onto Pizzville Tower. The lightning got worse and struck several nearby properties, causing ash and debris to cover them. Thanlamian has set up a temporary weather station at 6 Intersection Street and sent out weather warnings to all active players. Later that day, slight flooding occurred in Pizzville.

On May 26th, the lightning got much worse and caused most command blocks in Pizzville to malfunction due to electric shock. This collapsed a portion of the top of Pizzville Tower, as well as several other places, such as the bank, having damage done to their roofs. Thanlamian estimated that about 1/3 of all properties in Pizzville were affected by this. The flooding slightly increased, flowing into basements.

On May 28th, the lightning began to slow down and the rain became less heavy. Any lava caused by lightning or crashes cooled into obsidian.

On June 1st, all rain and lightning stopped.

After this event was over, it left severe damage to the Building Materials Shop and lower floors of Pizzville Tower. Several other properties, mainly ones near Pizzville Tower, had been struck by lightning multiple times, and therefore had debris and wreckage on their roofs or even inside of the house. Most of these properties were Government Properties, and were soon repaired by builders. There was also several patches of water flooding the streets, but those were also cleaned up by builders. The only remaining damage is to some non-government owned properties that are close to Pizzville Tower. The event ended on May 30th.
