This storm is actually Prospero’s magic, a magic that makes people subservient. It crystallizes the power of those who hold it. But without this magic, the drama would be a different story. I have read others’ explanations. They compared the storm to Prospero’s rage after being betrayed and framed, but when the storm was over, everything went back to calm, echoing Prospero’s tolerance in the end that he eventually forgave his enemies and let them go.
