n.[G., to disturb. L. The primary sense of storm is a rushing, raging or violent agitation. ] 1. A violent wind; a tempest. Thus a storm of wind, is correct language, as the proper sense of the word is rushing, violence. It has primarily no reference to a fall of rain or snow.

storied

storied adjective the quarterback's storied career: legendary, fabled, celebrated, of repute. WORD NOTE storied The first time I saw this word in a major newspaper —used, as I recall, to describe a street which had a particularly colorful history, one on which many notable events had transpired —I thought it was a typo. I have since seen it used more often to refer to a place or thing to which all sorts of stories and legends are attached. So I have learned that it is indeed a word, but I still don't happen to like it. Perhaps that's because it somehow seems like a participle, which would make story a verb along the lines of journal, as in to journal, which is, in my opinion, one of the most repellent current usages. — FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
