I skipped everyone else's critiques, so I hope I don't repeat something already said.

The first line is dynamic not only in its description, but also because "pellets" can be read as either an adjective, noun or a verb (abstract thinking- great tool). That gives more body and meaning to the first three words. Awesome introduction.

I think the first and second lines can better relate if you keep the stance of them similar, meaning line 2 would read like this:
"wind shouting rattled blasts" or "wind shouts rattling blasts". The "s" sounds are similar to "pellets" in the first line.

Since the first two lines are so powerful, maybe they could end the poem. The third line is weaker than the introduction, taking power away from it. Maybe line 3 works better as the introduction-
by the end of the poem, the powerful sounds and images act as the storm itself.
