Hurricane is a flag on the Cerulean Ocean, founded May 28, 2005 on Cobalt.

About

The flag was founded by Bnavver (Drjekyll of the Midnight Ocean), and quickly drew many of its founding members the same way. The flag motto says, "Winds howling, waves crashing, black clouds fill the sky. Enemies beware! If ye happen to see a Hurricane flag a wavin', ye can kiss yer arse goodbye!!!"

History

With Bnavver at the helm and Gunner behind him, Hurricane helped Dragon's Fury maintain their island by blockading Terra Island in a controlled blockade with Dragon's Fury's assistance. As owners of Terra, Hurricane helped its growth with the placement of the shack and other housing, several of it's first bazaars and first shoppes. Terra was later taken from Hurricane by a flag founded by a crew that spun-off from Hurricane's founding crew, Black Horizon. On 2 June, 2006 Bnavver stepped down as monarch allowing Aarghbird to step up and begin the next chapter in the flag's future. In December 2006, Aarghbird left the flag for undisclosed reasons and Bnavver regained the monarchy. In March 2007, Edwardteach became the new monarch. The monarchy was passed to Berlinetta in June 2007.

Public statement

From the outside, we seem a chaotic force of nature; inside we enjoy a place of good fun shared by flagmates and allies alike.

We change a lot, past and present mates remain our friends. We welcome all and are known to train many of the great mates out there (in our flag, as well as in others).

Hurricane banner

The Hurricane banner was fashioned by Emberlynn, a past flaggie, as part of a hobby. At the very top, the flag name, Hurricane, is printed. Black runs along the top of the banner, symbolizing the darkening of the sky with the coming of a hurricane. Red runs along the bottom half of the banner to represent the sea running red with the blood of their enemies. The two axes on the sides show constant defense, and the two dragons beside them show great strength and wisdom. In the middle is the Japanese word for freedom.

Fashioned by Emberlynn of the Cobalt Ocean for use by flag Hurricane only.
