Long Answer
1. The storm foreshadows the other tragedies. While frightening, the storm does not hurt the ship much. People are safe at that point, but it turns out the life jackets and other preparations become necessary. The earthquake and resulting tsunamis create another “storm” for people to try to survive, this one much worse, with lives lost. (Various chapters)
