Learn about SimCity 2000 hurricanes: howling winds, extreme flooding, and coastal destruction. Understand how they occur and how to recover.
Hurricanes are marked by the presence of howling winds and extreme flooding along the coast. If your city has no coast, hurricanes will not occur randomly, although you can still cause them if you wish. In that case, the flooding will occur along a random edge of the map.
The high winds can knock down buildings anywhere in your city, while the flooding will destroy all the buildings along the coast, assuming they're at sea level.
After hurricanes run their course, clean up the mess and reconstruct your power lines and buildings.
- Build your city away from the coast if you wish to avoid random hurricane occurrences.
- Be prepared to rebuild power lines and buildings after a hurricane.
- If you don't have a coast, flooding will occur along a random map edge when you manually trigger a hurricane.
