What does STORM mean in Scrabble?
noun
A powerful weather event combining strong wind with heavy rain, snow, thunder or lightning, or, by extension, any sudden and forceful outburst of activity or feeling.
A storm can be as ordinary as a heavy downpour with thunder and lightning, or as severe as a hurricane capable of levelling buildings and flooding whole towns, so the word covers an enormous range of weather depending on how it is qualified. Meteorologists rank storms by wind speed and structure, from a tropical storm just short of hurricane strength to a full-blown ice storm coating everything in a dangerous glaze. Figuratively, a storm of protest, applause or criticism describes any sudden, forceful reaction that arrives with the same intensity as bad weather and often passes just as quickly. As a verb, to storm a building means to attack and seize it by force, while a person who storms out of a room leaves in a sudden burst of anger, carrying the same sense of unstoppable, forceful movement.
