forces of nature
Wind, water, fire
Forces of nature are the fundamental physical phenomena that govern the universe—gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear forces.
More commonly, the phrase describes powerful natural events like hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods: The town was devastated by forces of nature.
Figuratively, a force of nature is a person of overwhelming energy or unstoppable drive: She's a force of nature in the courtroom.
