The model for the big storm is now in Models/Weather instead of
Models/Geometry, so the scenario file bigstorm_demo.xml needs to be changed.

1)  The AIStorm sets the properties:
         /environment/turbulence/magnitude-norm
         /environment/turbulence/rate-hz

    The actual turbulence effects are handled by the FDM.
    If the effects are deemed unrealistic, then that will
    have to be fixed in the FDM(s).


2)  The zone of turbulence is cylindrical, and is centered
    at the AIStorm's lat/lon.  The diameter is set with
    <diameter-ft>, the top with <height-msl>, the bottom is
    assumed to be at <altitude> minus 1000 feet.

3)  Note that the zone of turbulence may not match well with
    the visual model of the storm.  In this case I had to
    x-offset the storm model by 4700 meters to match the zone
    of turbulence. (i.e. the storm model is 4700m off center).

4)  While I was in there I also increased the speed of the
    lightning flashes to look more realistic.
