{{image|Highstorm by Noah Bradley.jpg|A stormwall|side=left|width=240px}}

A highstorm has three general stages. The leading edge, or stormwall, is the most dangerous part of the storm. Immensely powerful winds generate a wall of dust, water, and larger debris.{{book ref|twok|34}} It is shown that it is powerful enough to carry large trees long distances into the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|69}} The main body of the highstorm carries less debris, although the winds are still strong enough to hurl boulders. The trailing edge of the storm, known as the riddens, consists of light rains mixed with relatively mild gusts of wind. {{book ref|twok|35}} On average, a highstorm travels at roughly 370 miles per hour,{{wob ref|10231}} and weakens as it moves across the continent; the [[Purelake]], for example, experiences less intense highstorms than areas to the east.{{book ref|twok|i|1}}
