Ah, the formidable stages! Reminds me of my 'teens...

In fact, eeek is right, this storm sequence looks formidable.

That was probably a spell checker error. They probably wanted 'formative'. They spelled it wrong and the spell checker changed it to the wrong word.

Yep, formative, probably right. Still reminds me of my teens.
