More intense weather events

[Sengorn_Leopard]

I would like to see heavier storms. The clouds approach black in color, rain becomes louder, and fog greatly obscures viewing distance to mimic heavy downpour. Lightning would become more frequent; perhaps just the thunder component if one is worried about triggering epilepsy. I would also like to see the rain sound become heavier and lighter in waves as is common in real storms where wind gusts affect the downpour. I would also like to see stormclouds approach like you often see on the plains of the USA; a great wall of a cloud sweeping across the land with a white fluffy top and dark bottom. 

Perhaps if such a strong storm appeared sticks would generate on the ground near trees; and perhaps add a new form of sticks on the ground that have 'leaves' on them to mimic storm damage. (when broken would just provide a stick"

I know I'm asking for a lot in terms of work; but this type of weather event would scare me in game, and provide quite a thrill.

Your suggestion would certainly make the game more alive, real, complete and scarier

Add Tornado's in very flat area's to make storms destructive

and even Hurricanes / tropical storms over oceans

Try taking some inspiration from the minecraft weather mod.

Bush and forest fires wouldn't be bad either. But the trees would have to regenerate on their own. Fire very dangerous, as deadly as falling into lava.
Fire creates black, brown, red, gray dust too ...
