Character » Storm appears in 10183 issues.
As an orphan in Cairo, Ororo was forced to live on the streets. She was taken in by Achmed El-Gibar who taught her the many skills of thievery and hand to hand combat. While in Cairo, Storm has her first encounter with Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath who would go on form the team of mutants called the X-Men.
Pardon my noobish question but was Storm ever able to manipulate the weather at a young age while she was an orphan in Cairo? or was that something that didn't occur until later?

The answer is no. It's like this. Her powers come out and young Ororo doesn't even know if it's hers. So her powers subconsciously protect her (show up) without her knowledge.
No she couldn't really use her powers at this point in her story.
In Ororo Before the Storm she did manifest her powers (summoned wind and lightning to free herself from being trapped in rubble, but she couldn't control and didn't realize she did it. She also, according to the OHOTMU, manifested a wind that saved her when the plane crashed into house and killed her parents.
i have never heard this. I despise the "official" handbooks. the writers always take such ridiculous liberties with established, on panel, lore.
Hahaha agreed. Here is an excerpt entry from he Nov 2013 OHOTMU for Storm ..4th sentence down....
