Rushes to import food container in violent storms (10)

I believe the answer is:

hurricanes

'violent storms' is the definition.
(hurricane is a kind of violent storm)

'rushes to import food container' is the wordplay.
'rushes' becomes 'hurries' ('hurry' can be a synonym of 'rush').
'to import' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'food container' becomes 'can' (I've seen this before).
'hurries' enclosing 'can' is 'HURRICANES'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for hurricanes that I've seen is " planes".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
