It depends on which kind you are talking about, and there's wind in each type of storm. A thunder storm, the lightning can strike something and damage it. A tornado, it destroys everything until it disappears. A hurricane, a huge storm that forms over the water, spins, produces, tornadoes, serious destruction, etc!
