When The Storm Came / int_2ddddebf	type	Hostile Weather
When The Storm Came / int_2ddddebf	comment	Hostile Weather: Subverted. Initially, the titular storm causes sand to fly everywhere for about a day and a half, forcing the townsfolk to stay inside as it ruins several buildings. It returns just as Bob Lewis claims it's safe outside, killing him with a lightning strike. "The Storm" turns out to be a deliberately destructive entity and not a natural storm.

When The Storm Came / int_8774fb47	comment	Eldritch Abomination: The townsfolk are warned of an incoming storm, which turns out to be a more intentionally destructive being.

When The Storm Came / int_9a480050	type	Do Not Taunt Cthulhu
When The Storm Came / int_9a480050	comment	Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Implied. The protagonist thinks Bob Lewis refuses to return inside because he doesn't want to be intimidated by a storm. But "the Storm" is a malicious entity, not Hostile Weather, and Bob's supposed defiance is responded with a lightning strike of instant death.

When The Storm Came / int_cb11543c	comment	Cosmic Horror Reveal: It's initially assumed that the titular storm is naturally ferocious, but it stays over the town for days, using sandstorms and lightning to ruin buildings and stop the small groups of people trying to mobilise through it to obtain resources. Cementing "the Storm"'s otherworldliness is the protagonist being stared down by its Glowing Eyes of Doom.
