storm in

Burst through angrily

To storm in is to enter a place abruptly and angrily, often without invitation or warning: She stormed in demanding an explanation.

The phrase conveys forceful, dramatic movement—like a weather storm, sudden and hard to ignore.

Someone who storms in typically wants confrontation or intends to make their displeasure known.
