This is a good game for kids who want to learn about weather and what causes certain disasters but for a real game I would only rate it ⭐️⭐️ stars

Good but

It could do an update, because there is almost nothing to do and it’s so simple, I even got one town with only tornadoes and I would keep getting it right, make more cities or disasters as the current ones are terrible
