storm out
Leave in fury
To storm out is to leave abruptly and angrily, making your displeasure obvious through the manner of departure: She stormed out of the meeting after the accusation.
The storm suggests turbulent emotion—slamming doors, heavy footsteps, dramatic exits.
You storm out of rooms, buildings, or conversations, not places you were merely passing through.
