Others have the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.Still, the stories in Storm have more to say than that. They tell us about what happens when people find that treacherous weather—or when it finds them—and we are reminded of the fragility of life, the capriciousness of Nature’s will, and how little we can do when both cross paths.
