     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.

            [1913 Webster]
  
                  What at first was called a gust, the same
                  Hath now a storm's, anon a tempest's name.
                                                    --Donne.
