here are many varieties and names for storms:

 Blizzard – There are varying definitions for blizzards, both over time and by location. In
general, a blizzard is accompanied by gale-force winds, heavy snow (accumulating at a rate of
at least 5 centimeters (2 in) per hour), and very cold conditions (below approximately −10
degrees Celsius or 14 F). Lately, the temperature criterion has fallen out of the definition across
the United States.[2]
 Bomb cyclone – A rapid deepening of a mid-latitude cyclonic low-pressure area, typically
occurring over the ocean, but can occur over land. The winds experienced during these storms
can be as powerful as that of a typhoon or hurricane.
 Coastal Storm – Large wind waves and/or storm surge that strike the coastal zone. Their
impacts include coastal erosion and coastal flooding.[3]
 Derecho – A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated
with a land-based, fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms.
 Dust devil – A small, localized updraft of rising air.
 Dust storm – A situation in which winds pick up large quantities of sand or soil, greatly
reducing visibility.
 Firestorm – Firestorms are conflagrations which attain such intensity that they create and
sustain their own wind systems. It is most commonly a natural phenomenon, created during
some of the largest bushfires, forest fires, and wildfires. The Peshtigo Fire is one example of a
firestorm. Firestorms can also be deliberate effects of targeted explosives, such as occurred as
a result of the aerial bombings of Dresden. Nuclear detonations generate firestorms if high winds
are not present.
 Gale – An extratropical storm with sustained winds between 34–48 knots (39–55 mph or 63–
90 km/h).[4]
 Hailstorm – A type of storm that precipitates round chunks of ice. Hailstorms usually occur
during regular thunderstorms. While most of the hail that precipitates from the clouds is fairly
small and virtually harmless, there are occasional occurrences of hail greater than 2 inches
(5 cm) in diameter that can cause much damage and injuries.
 Hypercane – A hypothetical tropical cyclone that could potentially form over 50 °C (122 °F)
water. Such a storm would produce winds of over 800 km/h (500 mph). A series of hypercanes
may have formed during the asteroid or comet impact that killed the non-avian dinosaurs 66
million years ago. Such a phenomenon could also occur during a supervolcanic eruption, or
extreme global warming.
 Ice storm – [5] Ice storms are one of the most dangerous forms of winter storms. When
surface temperatures are below freezing, but a thick layer of above-freezing air remains aloft,
rain can fall into the freezing layer and freeze upon impact into a glaze of ice. In general, 8
millimetres (0.31 in) of accumulation is all that is required, especially in combination with breezy
conditions, to start downing power lines as well as tree limbs. [6] Ice storms also make unheated
road surfaces too slick to drive upon. Ice storms can vary in time range from hours to days and
can cripple small towns and large metropolitan cities alike.
 Microburst – A very powerful windstorm produced during a thunderstorm that only lasts a few
minutes.
 Ocean Storm or sea storm – Storm conditions out at sea are defined as having sustained
winds of 48 knots (55 mph or 90 km/h) or greater.[4] Usually just referred to as a storm, these
systems can sink vessels of all types and sizes.
