I think this is "I believe" in the sense of "it is my opinion that." And a
sensible one too; "storm" as a verb with no further context aside from
being part of a warrior's language like Klingon is likely to be a military
term (like {ngaq}). Then again, it's not marked. COuld be either, but
it's certainly as good a guess as any.
