Do you capitalize the word 'storm'?

In general, the word "storm" is not capitalized unless it is used as part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "We experienced a severe storm last night," the word "storm" is not capitalized because it is not a proper noun. However, in the sentence "Hurricane Katrina was one of the most devastating storms in history," the word "storm" is capitalized because it is part of the proper noun "Hurricane Katrina." Similarly, if a sentence begins with the word "Storm," it should be capitalized, such as in "Storm clouds gathered on the horizon."
