Exhausted, having ridden a storm (7)
I believe the answer is:
drained
'exhausted' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'ridden a storm' is the wordplay.
'storm' indicates an anagram.
'ridden'+'a'='riddena'
'riddena' anagrammed gives 'DRAINED'.
'having' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for drained that I've seen before include "empty" , "Emptied of liquid" , "Exhausted" , "Tired" , "spent" .)
