Answer:

Personification is used to show the power of the storm.

Explanation:  

Personification and hyperbole are two types of figure of speech. The first one takes place when non-human objects like animals, elements of nature, emotions or things, are given human attributes, and hyperbole takes place when we use exaggerated words or phrases that are obviously false in order to emphasize or to add humor.

In the excerpt, the speaker is not talking in an exaggerated manner or using words that are obviously false because a storm can indeed continue for hours, thunders can be deafening, lightning can be strong...

However, the speaker does use personification because it describes lightning as something that takes the night from completely black to light as if lightning had the conscious will of holding with its hands something. Furthermore, the speaker uses personification to show the power of the storm: It was so mighty and powerful that it continued for hours, and had mighty thunders and lightnings.

20 concepts of journalism
Naddik [55]
1. Always deliver what you promise. 2. Each pronoun should agree with their antecedent. 3. Between you and I, case is important. 4. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. 5. Don't be a person whom people realize confuses "who" and "whom." 6. Never use no double negatives. 7. A writer should not shift their point of view. 8. When writing, participle must not be dangled. Don't do it even if it's hard not to. 9. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should. 10. Don't write run-on sentences, you need to punctuate them properly. 11. About sentence fragments. Don't. Unless it's for effect. 12. In letter themes and reports use commas to separate items in a series as well as phrases and clauses when required. 13. Don't, use commas, that aren't necessary. 14. Its important to use apostriphe's in the right place's. 15. Don't abbrev. unless approved by the Associated Press Stylebook. 16. Check to see you any words out. 17. Try to never split infinitives. 18. Avoid using a preposition to end a sentence with. That's a practice up with which some readers will not put. 19. Parallel structure will help you in writing more effective sentences to express yourself more gracefully and its pleasing to your editor. 20. In my own personal opinion I think that an author when he is writing should not get into the habit of making use of too many unnecessary words that he does not really need to use. 21. Last but not least, lay off the cliches and mixed metaphors. They might kindle a flood if anger in your editor. Yes, that's twenty one, but they all needed to be listed to properly answer this question. The errors in the sentences are all purposeful and intended. I do hope this helped you. :)
