the tempest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bard's work' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'depicted the storm' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is present in the answer.
'storm' could be 'tempest' (tempest is a kind of storm) and 'tempest' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for the tempest that I've seen before include "Prospero, Miranda play" , "Shakespeare play" , "Here observe Miranda" .)
