If you can find access to the old "Workin' On The Railroad" TV series, they did a story on a guy who did a good job modelling an approaching storm that included lightning, wind, thunder sound effects, and even animated a tornado going across the layout as trees and scenery fell! It was pretty cool. I've always wondered if you could design a glass window of sorts to place at the front edge of a scene and using an aquarium pump, pump sheets of water down the glass to simulate rain.....sort of like the table top water features you can buy for decoration....
