More importantly, these random storms spend much of their time randomly smiting wicked, wicked trees.

It is a 6th-level spell.

Still easier to deal with than real-life storms.

If you happen to be, or be around, the hundred or so people in the world who can cast 6th-level Cleric spells.

No, in that case you don't have to deal with it at all.

Not to play devil's advocate here, because I disagree fundamentally with deuterio12's position, but random storms can totally cause random deaths--there was a woman killed by being struck by lightning while walking in the Highlands last Saturday. It's a massively rare occurrence, certainly, but not a nonexistent one.

Oh, I agree, and am not actually disputing that storms can potentially kill people. My point is that if you're going to cite in-comic evidence of storms randomly killing people, Comic #201 is actually the worst one to use because the random storm we're shown turns out to be harmless.

Which is infinitely more people than can quell storms in real life.

Or significantly fewer, if you listen to certain people. Also the moon is a hologram.

Even better: the storm saved Miko, who led the Order to Shojo, who helped them get to Girard's Gate and hinder Team Evil's plans then get sidetracked into a quest about literally saving every single person alive.

Isn't everything in the universe a hologram on a higher-dimensional brane?

That's what the lizard people want you to think!

oh no, they're onto me!
