Hurricane Edith is an ongoing Cantalle hurricane. It is the fifth named storm and second hurricane of the 2023 hurricane season. Edith originated from a vigorous tropical wave off the coast of Adula that was first identified by ZOAC on August 29th, 2023. The tropical wave gradually became more organized and obtained gale-force winds on August 30th before organizing into Tropical Storm Edith. On the 31st, Edith strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane, reaching an initial peak of 85 mph (137 km/h), with a minimum central pressure of 987 mbar (hPa; 29.15 inHg). It rapidly intensified, gaining Category 2 strength on September 1st around noon, Category 3 by the early morning of September 2nd, and it became a Category 4 with 145 mph (230 km/h) winds by its landfall in Marivista around noon that day. On September 3rd as it barreled across the Ossinia Sea, Edith became a Category 5 and peaked at 185 mph (295 km/h), making it the third-most powerful hurricane ever observed in the Cantalle Ocean after Elnora (1999) and Janae (2011).
Meteorogical history
Preparations
On August 30th, the government of Marivista mobilized 200 members of the Federal Marivistan National Guard in order to assist with evacuations and preparations, along with possible search and rescue operations for the storm's aftermath.
President Salma Vargés issued a state of emergency for Lower Aseu on August 31st and ordered evacuations along the southwestern coastal regions.
On August 31st, Matthew Lockbeer, Director of the Zamastanian Oceanic and Atmospheric Center, classified Edith's rapid development in the central Cantalle as a "late season intense storm" with the potential to bring catastrophic winds, rain, flooding, and general disaster to the region if preparations weren't adaquetely followed. Alenchon Governor Peter Younggrain advised evacuations of coastal communities in anticipation of the hurricane's projected path, though most forecasts had it on a course towards the Tregueux/Landeda provincial borders for a mainland landfall. Governor Morriane Wilkons of Tregueux issued a state of emergency for the province, as did Landeda provincial governor Marcus Sommerson Jr.. President Sabine Armitage advised citizens in the projected impact zones to heed the authority of local officials as Edith intensified.

Northern Cantalle Islands
The combined effects of the precursor low to Edith and a disturbance over the Cantalle Ocean caused significant flooding across the impacted Northern Cantalle Islands. In Lower Aseu, torrential rain caused at least three rivers to overtop their banks. The city of Samuelton reported a 12-foot (3.65 meter) storm surge, which laped over the seawall and beachheads, inundating the lowerlying areas, and washed away roads and power lines.
