storms out

Departs in fury

To storm out is to leave a place abruptly and angrily, making your displeasure obvious through body language—slamming doors, heavy footsteps, refusing to look back.

The phrase implies dramatic exit rather than quiet departure: She stormed out of the meeting after being interrupted for the third time.

The storm metaphor captures the visible turbulence of the departure.
