On a late October Sunday, an Atlantic storm system pressed itself against the United Kingdom with unusual force — winds exceeding 80 miles per hour, sweeping rain, and the rare atmospheric conditions that occasionally give rise to tornadoes.

It is a familiar human posture before the power of weather: watching, measuring, and waiting for certainty that nature is not yet ready to offer.
