Its always a fun time for our family when Storm1515 comes to visit. We make a point of seeking out some great geocaches to enjoy together. This time we wanted to hide a puzzle cache for Storm for his birthday. We are placing a small gift for him, labeled with his name, that is not for trade. The cache is an ammo can in the woods with plenty of other swag.
Cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find the cache solve this puzzle about storms:
A storm is any disturbed state of an astronomical body's atmosphere especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind, hail, thunder and/or lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc. (Wikipedia)
