'good luck' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'red meat outside middle america' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'red' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'meat' could be 'steak' (steak is a kind of meat) and 'steak' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'getting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
