Re: Storms as a defense?
Only the damaging storms stack. The damage is applied as all or nothing, so sometimes you can move a fleet through without taking any damage. The odds of harm for 1000 damaging storms is no higher than the odds for one damaging storm.
I have no proof, but I suspect that if you include at least one ship with a storm destroying component, you have a better chance of entering the storm safely.

Re: Storms as a defense?
It could be that destroy storm always destroys the last storm that's been made.

Re: Storms as a defense?
Try destroying a storm, moving 1 square then back, then creating a storm. If it works similar to creating planets it should change. I haven't tried it myself yet with storms though.

Re: Storms as a defense?
Theoretically, you could destroy the existing storm, move out of the sector, move back in, then create a storm.
