Disaster: Blizzards
Death/Injuries Toll: est. 24,621,900 dead, injuries unknown
Damage Toll: no accurate figures
Information: Harsh blizzards are a normal feature in the Dominion, but the winter of 1999-2000 was particularly devastating. The freak atmospheric conditions of that winter kept large blizzards parked over central Cotenshire. The storms were constantly being reinforced, and there would be many days where the snowfall level would exceed six feet. The lucky ones were trapped in their homes, and the unlucky ones died when their homes collapsed under the weight of the snow. The melting snow the following spring created enormous floods. This was only the beginning, however. Farmers could not sow their crops that spring and ost of the deaths occurred in the ensuing starvation. Relief silos full of preserved food had been created by the nobility, but the logistical nightmares created by the snow and floods meant that the food could reach almost no one. The mentality of the situation was not helped by the fact that many thought the apocalypse would come in the year 2000.
