Tropical Storm Donna formed from a non-tropical Low Pressure Centre that was first tracked in the Sea of Cervidia on October 21, 2135. After the centre moved onshore in Lower Biswald, killing two, it made a rare turn back out to sea and began attaining tropical characteristics, becoming Subtropical Depression 09 of the 2133-2135 cyclone season as it neared the AOR. Upon entering the AOR it was incorrectly designated 333509D+DONNA, or the 9th tropical system (depression) of the 2133-2135 season, as it still had subtropical characteristics.
The next day, October 27, it strengthened into a Tropical Storm, having lost its subtropical character, and was correctly designated 333509S+DONNA - the first time a subtropical storm had made the transition to a tropical storm. It then rapidly moved northwest, strengthening and reaching Category Three cyclone status before making first landfall on Upper Biswald, where it killed 10 and caused L£2 billion in damage.
Oddly enough the storm did not move inland but turned north and back out into the sea, strengthening in the very warm waters to a Category 4 cyclone - only the second of the season after 333504C5+TINA (Category 5 cyclone Tina, the 4th storm of the season and the last of the year 2133). It made a final landfall near the Marine/Naval base in southern Liverpool England, killing 15 servicemen and 13 civilians.
By the time the storm dissipated over Nautikos, it had killed 40 people and caused an astounding L£6bn in damage.
