Teapot Containing an Actual Tempest

Origin
The phrase "tempest in a teapot" has been traced to numerous roots, from Ancient Greek to the Revolutionary War. It means a very small or minor problem that has been exaggerated greatly.

Usage
Inside the teapot is a terrible storm. It has been classified as a category five. The teapot is plugged with a cork. If the cork is removed the storm will be released. The teapot can only hold one storm at a time. Removing the lid does not release the storm, but the user may look inside to see a birds-eye view of the storm.

Collection
Contained within the teapot is the most potentially deadly hurricane in American history, Hurricane Horace. This hurricane is not on the books because it was captured before it struck the United States coast.
