'storm' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'leaf stuck to sheep' is the wordplay.
'leaf' becomes 'p'.
'stuck' becomes 'age' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'sheep' becomes 'ram' (male sheep).
'p'+'age'='page'
'page' after 'ram' is 'RAMPAGE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rampage that I've seen before include "Rioting, for example" , "Violent action" , "destructive behaviour" , "Run riot" , "Dash around violently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
