Storms can be fearsome and almost like they are a force coming to attack.

Last year a storm hit here in April. It didn’t look like much on radar and there were no warnings out The cell blew up right over our area with rain very high winds and 4” hail! The hail wreaked havoc on everything in about a 20 square mile area. We had 8-9 k in damages and considered lucky 🍀 Some had tens of thousands in damages. It is a different kind of experience having 4” hail hammer your roof for about 15 minutes. Total helplessness.

Having experienced way too many storms I can say they are can infuse many different feeling and emotions. From fun to fear. An entire community develops a profile unique to the storm, appropriate for the moment.

That’s a very good observation. The USA Gulf coast, particularly Louisiana, has a deep storm culture.
