Beach Alpha

Time to Aeolis Landfall(eye crosses coastline): seven hours

''The sandy coastline around Alpha begins to turn hazy as the strengthening winds, now at tropical depression-strength, blow sand through the air and as curtains of rain start to come down from the outer bands of the hypercane. Large whitecapped breakers fifteen feet high gnaw at the shore, pounding the sand with unfailing persistence. Barometric pressure in the area starts to nosedive, and swirling clouds race overhead. The rebel bunkers remain unaffected by the conditions, but the high-sided loyalist transport trucks rock gently whenever stronger gusts hit them broadside, even as the relatively battle-torn ground begins to become moist and soft from the rain.''
