"Hurricane Sand 2012 Presentation Card."
11 years ago, a major storm formed in the Atlantic, Hurricane Sandy start as a low pressure system on October 22nd, 2012, which quickly gained strength into a depression.. thanks to the low shear and the warm waters, Sandy was able to strengthen, eventually she would make landfall in Kingston, it would not be long after where she would rapidly intensify into a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 115 MPH and a pressure of 954 mbars, before making landfall in Santiago de Cuba at such intensity, after said landfall, her storm would start getting disorganized, as she headed north-northwest, going over the Bahamas, she would lose her hurricane status on the 27th, however, she still continue to persevere with convection thanks to a trough, despite strong shear starting to hit her..
After weakening briefly, she would re-intensify into a Category 2 briefly on the 29th, around that same time, she would reach her massive size, oddly enough having a strange pressure of 940mbars most likely due to the size, on this day, she would make her final landfalls on the Northeastern US, and New Jersey, continuing northeastward until she merged with another low pressure area on November 2nd, 2012.
In the end, she reaped the lives of 233 people and caused $68.7 billion in 2012 USD damages, thus, resulting in her retirement in Spring 2013.. being replaced with Sara for the lists next use, 2018, even though Sara did not get used in the 2018 season..
(Tried to paraphrase from Wikipedia derp)
PHEW, Got this done, Surprised I was able to finish this in time, did some new things like the staff, and making the storm super big to show Sandys size, but I think this turned out well, despite my procrastination and struggles. :P

"Hurricane Sandy Concept Sketch."
"If I could control my storm, I would stay out to sea.. I was not anticipating hitting land like Katrina and Wilma did.."
-Sandy.
Here was me sketching the outfit design of Sandy, I realized I never did her outfit, thus went ahead and did it on the same day I was about to start doing the card, I also ended up doing more by doing rough concepts of her staff + lantern, and doing a thumbnail of sorts for the card, which ended up used in the final card.
Sandy is a gentle soul despite her devastation on the human lands, being one of the Avrion medics, tending to storms who got sick during their season, or an injuries the may get.. she is shy but means well, she does not like being in the middle of conflict and will only hurt someone if needed to defend herself or close friends.
"Maybe she was just trying to give the entire USA a hug, maybe that's why it got so huge. Caused devastation in the process but-"
-Unknown source.
Albeit it was not what she was doing, She never wanted to harm the Heides (Avrion term for Humans) like I said earlier, she only harms if needed for defense.
