The best example of precise language from the provided options is:

The storms caused lots of destruction across our small town.

This sentence could be improved for precision by specifying the type of destruction, but it stands out for including clear imagery of the storms' impact. The other sentences use vague language ("dark and dreary," "unsure," "lots of destruction") that could be made more specific.
