I really like how the mood of each story is told through the weather. I think by creating this setting it definitely gives you a sense of what the characters are feeling. In the story of an hour you knew Mrs. Mallard was at first cloudy, and stormy (sad and angry) about her husbands death then as she relaxed and thought it through, the clouds began to fade and blue skies shined through. She knew everything was going to be ok.
In the storm I felt that as the storm intensified so did the love affair, the thunder the rain the wind you could feel the emotions that were going on. As the storm faded so did the love affair, the storm was over, so was the love affair.

I would have to disagree with you about The Storm. I don't think the affair faded there was to much passion between the two of them. That passion was there before they got married and seems that it keeps getting stronger over time. Many times there are smaller storms before the big tornado hits. When the tornado does hit their lives will be turned upside down and the will have to clean up the mess after word.
