New Idea - Weather

Weather

Idea : Weather in Factorio
(Possible) Additions : Obviously weather; Possibly destructive weather (tornadoes, earthquakes, lightning, etc.); Warning system (weather scanner, tornado siren, seismograph); Destructive weather scale (on a scale from <?#?> - <?#?>); etc.
Content/Structure :

Weather has a random chance of spawning in at any time. Weather is universally true - no matter where you are it is the same. Normal weather is rain, sun, cloudy, etc. However, sometimes destructive weather can spawn, on a scale of <?#?> - <?#?>. Destructive weather can be detected before impact with the appropriate equipment/buildings (Tornado - Weather Radar; Earthquake - Seismograph; etc.). Weather can cause damage to buildings if not detected and/or prevented. I'm not exactly sure what could prevent weather disasters yet, still need ideas :?: .

Reply with your ideas below! Hope it seems appealing because it would add an extra layer of fun/stress to the game ;) .
