Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [1]

 Psalm 55:8 (b) Life's troubles are certainly tempests, turmoil and chaos. We cannot expect to get through life without the winds of adversity. The Lord is to be our place of refuge, and the shelter in the time of storm.

 Psalm 107:29 (b) In the time of storm on the sea, the waves mount up with destructive force. The waves represent leaders and rulers who would injure and hurt GOD's people. Our Lord is telling us that He is able to speak peace on all such occasions and bring rest to the heart with peace in the mind.

 Isaiah 4:6 (b) Here again our Lord is telling us that we may expect times of trouble in our lives, but He has provided a hiding place in His own presence, resting under the shadow of His wings, and leaving the solution with Him.

 Isaiah 25:4 (b) Evidently our Lord is referring to the times of great stress and strain that GOD's people often had to pass through. In the midst of these difficulties the Lord became a hiding place, and a shelter from the conflict. (See  Isaiah 28:2;  Isaiah 29:6).

 Nahum 1:3 (b) This is an assurance to our hearts that when difficulties arise and the problems of life increase, the GOD of Heaven will control every event and make all the difficulties to bow to His will according to His plan.

King James Dictionary [3]

Storm 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. But as a violent wind is often attended with rain or snow, the word storm has come to be used, most improperly, for a fall of rain or snow without wind.

O beat those storms, and roll the seas in vain.

2. A violent assault on a fortified place a furious attempt of troops to enter ad take a fortified place by scaling the walls, forcing the gates and the like. 3. Violent or political commotion sedition insurrection also, clamor tumult disturbance of the public peace.
