OOC: A repost of previously established details.

The settlement was located on the western side of the main continent within the equatorial belt and had a tropical rainforest climate. As such it had a steady and predictable temperature range that was on the warm side with regular precipitation every month. The settlement was located well above sea level in a mountainous river valley (ie. canyon setting) and thus the mean temperature was lower than closer to sea level. Storms were not unusual but they were rarely destructive.

The only record available was a report by Commander Xerdosa that detailed the extent of the storm. Though well inland (1500 kms), the settlement ended up being in the path of a massive storm that had turned into an extratropical cyclone after being a Category 4 Hurricane (based on the Saffir-Simpson Scale).

The storm brought wind gusts up to 120km/h and dumped 75mm of rain after a slow moving system had already dumped 35mm the day before. This caused severe flooding and with the high winds, caused large amounts of damage to the settlement. Given that most of the structures erected were temporary emergency housing for the incoming refugees, they were not strong enough to withstand the storm’s effects.

The refugee camp is sitting on an area of decent bedrock (given the mountains), with the clinic set-up right next to it. The Klingon/Romulan compound( former prison), sits just north of the camp up on the flat top of a hill.
