this probably won't be a very popular position, but I strongly disagree.
while there are few galactic constants, bad weather is one of them. heck,
Qo'noS itself only gets sunshine for less than a week per year. and the
general use of terms with the gloss 'storm' mean a violent natural
atmospheric and/or spatial disturbance. it is entirely possible that if
you were to use such as a military term (in a metaphorical construct,
such as "we overran romuluS like a storm"), it would be entirely
understood, especially with the average Klingon warrior being one who
also appreciates poetry and/or opera.
