Question

Kara walked through the lot as the coming storm transformed the sky into an angry sea of shadowy figures. She unlocked the door just as Kevin shouted her name. The wind began to howl, and the rest of Kevin's words were lost in a cacophony of rustling leaves and tortured branches as they scraped against the building. She began walking toward him when the rain started, the shower soaking her immediately, the strands of her wet hair striking her cheeks like a lash. What is an example of imagery in the passage?
