ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Storm

A storm is like a big tantrum of the weather. Just like sometimes you get very angry or sad and you cry or scream, the weather can also get very angry and loud. When this happens, it usually gets very dark and windy outside. The wind can blow so strongly that it can make things like trees, branches, and toys fly around. This is why it's important to stay inside during a storm, where you can stay safe and dry. Sometimes a storm can also bring rain or hail, which are like little ice cubes that fall from the sky. These things can be very dangerous, so it's important to pay attention to what adults tell you and stay inside during a storm. After the storm is over, everything usually looks clean and fresh again, just like when you feel better after a good cry!
