Content Warning: Body Horror and Gore
The calm before the storm is fleeting. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Introduction
There are many dangers lurking in the Backrooms: hostile entities, dangerous phenomenon, and the environments hosted by the infinite levels. But none are as dangerous as the storms that wrack the static and calm skyboxes of levels in the Backrooms. These "Destabilizing Storms" wreak havoc on the environment and inhabitants of whatever level they appear in. However, their dangers are most apparent in "safe" levels, especially if the warning signs are ignored.
Storm Safety
To ensure your safety, and the safety of those around you, be aware of the following signs.
The first sign will be joint pain, regardless of your age or general bodily health. It'll be deep in your bones and radiate out toward your extremities. For most people, this pain will be a mild nuisance, but occasionally the pain will be so great that movement is impossible. When a majority of inhabitants feel joint pain, evacuation efforts should begin, with every effort taken to move wanderers, important equipment, and important documents out of the level.
Note the unusual cloud color.
The second sign is the sky suddenly becoming overcast. In indoor levels, this is reflected through any windows that may be on the level, regardless of if they're real or Windows. While many clouds are the usual grey or white, unusual coloring may appear as well, such as red, chartreuse, #90963a, and NULL.
Once "lightning" appears, either manifesting as typical lightning or other sources of light rapidly brightening and dimming, the storm is is already close enough to affect reality around it. However, there may be a chance for escape with your body intact given that the intervals between lightning flashes are greater than 10 seconds.
