nature throwing a tantrum so beautiful you film it instead of running
means Violent disturbances of the atmosphere marked by strong winds and usually rain, snow, or thunder and lightning.
from From Old English 'storm,' rooted in a Germanic word (cousin to Dutch 'storm' and German 'Sturm') that likely traces back to a Proto-Indo-European base meaning 'to stir up' or 'turmoil' — the same restless root that may lurk behind 'stir.' So the word has always carried the sense of the air being agitated, churned, set into a fury.
