Beach Alpha

Time to Aeolus Landfall: FIVE HOURS

''Over the last two hours, the winds have strengthened to hurricane-force. Transport ships are already finding it difficult to fight the storm, and any remaining near shore will soon be unable to muster enough power to fight their way out to sea. In addition, any aircraft in the area must leave soon or risk going down in the rapidly deteriorating weather. The beach is hazy due to a mix of rain and windblown spume and sand, and monstrous breakers gnaw at the dunes, having crept over the flatter beach. ''

''Meanwhile, the transport trucks are attempting to outpace the storm; however, they must follow muddy, twisting roads even as Aeolus can take a straight, direct path inland. Soon, they begin to get overtaken by the storm, and the miles-long convoys start to bog down due to deep mud and debris. In addition, the high-sided trucks are getting rocked forcefully by the hurricane force winds.''
