So, a few times now there's been a randomly DMed storm, previously in the Grafjell camp/Hawklight camp area, and today in the Sanardu/Mockingbay area.
While I understand the idea behind this, myself as well as others have agreed that this hasn't contributed at all to RP, and in fact has somewhat taken away from it. In the Grafjell camp, essentially our RP was interrupted for an OOC half hour to hour wherein we had to hang out in a cellar and stare at each other and eat our fingers. In Sanardu, it was a total of three or four emotes that briefly interrupted RP before we went on doing whatever without any further input, whatever build-up just stopping.
As far as I'm aware, at least, in both instances the Hawklight camp and Mockingbay (the places I wasn't in, IC) got more focus because they had more people. That's all fine and well, but maybe in the future just keep it localized to that location instead of basically teasing the nearby group with 'hey something cool is happening over there but you can't join in', and tossing us a few pity emotes without any conclusion or actual point.
