Stop in for a cup of coffee

Oh, I realize that. And, if you contacted the weather people, it might be that the wind actually reach the speed of storm in some areas of that weather system. While in most places where that weather passes it is less wind.
It was just so funny the first time I heard it said here, people sounded to me like they were a bit worried, and called it a rain storm. And time went by, and I was like, when is this wind going to hit ? Because I sort of knew what a "storm" was, but then my kind of storm. And I do realize that tornadoes are vicious and extremely strong winds. From the village in Norway we used to see tiny tornadoes, we called them "spinners". They were strong, but nothing in the neighborhood of what you guys have here. But, the flat wind was strong, and I have had to grab the hold of things not to be taken by the wind many a time. Or go behind the corner and just peek around.

Well, here the operative words are “and/or” wind. Wind is not required to call it a storm.

In the purest sense, a “storm” is any sudden and significantly forceful deviation from what is generally considered normal.
