Storms, although often predictable at the macro-level, have an element of randomness that often causes significant chaos and destruction at the human level.
Knowing “lots of bad stuff is going to happen” is not the same as saying what specific bad things will happen, making damage mitigation difficult.
A tweet-storm is when a tweeter gets locked on a subject (usually within a specific Twitter stream) and starts to go on a rant. They lash out, engaging with multiple people, usually in a negative fashion.
It may feel good in the moment, giving little bursts of dopamine with each “insightful” comment, quoted tweet, and amplifying hashtag created. Yet it is still a storm, and can often cause damage to oneself and others.
If you are a professional, avoid tweet-storms at all costs.
(Tweeting in volume can have a place on Twitter for professionals, yet it has to be intentionally. For example, I will occasionally “tweet” a medical conference I am attending (perhaps in excess of 30 tweets in one day), using Twitter as a way to amplify various speakers’ excellent content and messages. In fact, this once led to a substantial new job opportunity. But again, I only do this high volume tweeting with an a priori plan in place and strict criteria on the type of comments I will make.)
