General Gameplay Eletric Storms and heatwaves

Your Feature Request / Idea
This could either be implemented to our regular storm or a new storm entirely.

I would like to see a storm that is destructive but random. A tornado is destructive, but even though it is uncontrollable, it is easy to predict where it will go. I would like to have an electrical storm be the kind of storm that is destructible, but hard to predict.

Let us say you have an island that was just hit with an electric storm. It will appear as any other storm, however thunder and lightning is an indication of what storm it will be. Suddenly every few seconds, thunder would strike a powerstation, substation, or fence randomly. This will create a short to the stations immediately, and render substations and fences unfunctional. This will be scarier than storms as dinosaur could breakout just as easily and important electrical circuits are rendered useless. They could be destroyed but will need a ranger team to reactivate and be the faster choice.

The other weather is heatwaves. In heatwaves, the setting will be tinted orange. This will be the indication of the new weather. What happens is that dinosaurs would have double the rate of thirst. This will be interesting as it would cause dinosaurs to migrate and be around water areas more often. This is bad if your view area is limited and if you have too many dinosaurs but not enough water space. Guests would also temporarily have a higher need of transportation. On the plus side, bars and restaurants gets an increase in profits, so raise the price as much as possible!
 
Hey what do you think about tsunamis, earthquakes or volcano eruptions?

Volcanic Eruptions might be a bit difficult to add. Also what will happen to your park? A volcanic eruption is devastating so you would basically have no park and dead dinosaurs and guests. Tsunamis and earthquakes I would actually like them to be added.

I think tsunamis and volcanoes are too destructive for the park maps , but I could see tremors as a rare possibility. It may be like an indication to the upcoming volcanic eruption, and could be like zoo tycoon 2 where buildings and fences ends up getting broken.
 
Liking both of these ideas. I'd add that if the heatwave type of weather was added, another type of upgrade for either the ranger or ACU could be added to help maintain the dino's health - add a watertank & hose upgrade so we have to go and spray the dinos for a while to keep them cool. I'm pretty sure the largest carnivores would have the greatest need for this remedy.
 
I like this idea a lot because it adds some interesting weather things to look forward to and adds some interesting challenge as well. I am getting a little bit of nostalgia though with the heatwave idea.

Also, they're not that hard to implement, in terms of time and assets.

Small note, I do feel like it should be approriate to the island: as in heatwaves can't occur on a dense tropical island, only on a more arid one I suppose.

I agree, these weather options should be island exclusives. I am mainly thinking of how the gameplay would function if it was implemented into challenge mode.
