keep their distance from the center [of the storm], yes.
If you set StormScale to "1", then the "pieces" of the storm would be in normal position away from storm center. If you set it to "3", then each piece would be 3 times its normal distance from the center... The only downfall to this, is that it is actually just spreading the pieces away from each other, so it would make the storm bigeer, but "thinner" as well... However, this could be fixed...
