Oh, I missed one. There's no way any of my characters can know this, but in the far past a tempest was what brought the Thervan (humanoid reptile race) invaders to the known world, where they proceeded to muck up and conquer the incredibly corrupt human society. So I guess you could say that the tempests aren't entirely random. They all seem to be orchestrated by divine purpose of some kind.
