- The storm clouds gradually turned into clouds, or some other climatic phenomenon took place, inexplicable to the uninitiated. A progressive dystrophy of storm clouds. From the very beginning they had seemed to Viktor decorations rather than harbingers of downpours. The storm clouds were impotent, and impotent storm clouds are called clouds, and the wind ordinarily drags them across the sky until they completely disappear.
