The night of the massive storm will be in the townspeople’s memories forever. The rain pounded against the windows, and the trees bent sideways from the wind. The crackling sound from the battery-powered radios filled the air as the broadcaster repeated, "Please take cover! Take cover now!” Only darkness could be seen inside the homes, as the electricity had been knocked out.

tense

The description of pounding rain, bending trees, repeated warnings, and loss of power creates urgent, anxious tension rather than anger or purely suspenseful anticipation.
