Mad Max style storms in GTA 6 would be insane

Been replaying Mad Max (the 2015 one) and the storms in that game still get me. Out of nowhere the sky turns brown, wind picks up, and suddenly you're dodging scrap metal and car parts flying at your face. It's chaotic in the best way. I keep thinking, if Rockstar is building Leonida around all this Florida craziness, they've gotta have something similar.

Imagine a hurricane warning pops up on your phone in-game. You've got a few minutes to find shelter or just say screw it and drive straight into it. Debris slamming into your car, palm trees bending, NPCs scrambling. Maybe a tornado touches down in the Grassrivers and you can actually see it tearing up farmland. Just Cause 4 did tornadoes pretty well, but I bet Rockstar would make it feel way more grounded and terrifying.

I haven't played much Just Cause 4 myself, but from what I've seen the weather events are a big part of the map. Leonida's got swamps, keys, open water. Plenty of room for a storm to build up and cause real damage. Could even tie into missions. A heist during a hurricane? Yes please.

Rockstar's weather systems have always been solid, but they've never gone full disaster mode. With the hardware they're working with now, I'm hoping they push it. Not just rain and lightning, but actual environmental hazards that change how you play. I'd love to see a storm roll through and leave the streets flooded for a while, or knock down power lines that spark in the water.
