Syn: Tempest; violence; agitation; calamity.

Usage: {Storm}, {Tempest}. Storm is violent agitation, a
commotion of the elements by wind, etc., but not
necessarily implying the fall of anything from the
clouds. Hence, to call a mere fall or rain without
wind a storm is a departure from the true sense of the
word. A tempest is a sudden and violent storm, such as
those common on the coast of Italy, where the term
originated, and is usually attended by a heavy rain,
with lightning and thunder.

Storms beat, and rolls the main;
O! beat those storms, and roll the seas, in
vain. --Pope.

What at first was called a gust, the same
Hath now a storm's, anon a tempest's name.
--Donne.
