phenomenon
Storm
A named bout of hard weather — wind, cloud, and often rain or thunder together. Not lightning the flash alone, and not a generic tempest slogan dump.
Nahua tradition
Storm appears in Nahua tradition.
Sahagún’s Florentine Codex records storms among rain, wind, and agricultural peril speech — named storms as weather events in Tlaloc chapters. A colonial-era Nahua ethnographic attestation, not a pan-Mesoamerican essence and not an unfiltered pre-invasion voice.
from Bernardino de Sahagún and Nahua collaborators · Florentine Codex, c. 1577

Shinto
Storm appears in Shinto.
The Kojiki’s Susanoo is the violent storm sibling whose raging wrecks fields and the weaving hall before the cave crisis. Named storm force in that kami narrative, not Zeus’s thunderbolt forge alone and not rain as precipitation alone.

Storm is sacred to Susanoo.
The Kojiki’s Susanoo is the storm kami whose raging is his own force — storm as dedicated weather of that sibling, not bare meteorology and not Takemikazuchi’s thunder-envoy job.

Vedic tradition

The Ṛgveda works storm as the joined weather of Indra’s deed — wind, cloud, rain, and thunder together in hymn praise. A named Vedic storm in that corpus, not lightning or thunder alone and not a generic tempest slogan.
from Stephanie W. Jamison and Joel P. Brereton (translation) · The Rigveda, 2014 (this translation); hymns much older
