What does a hurricane have to do with loshon hora?

The Ben Yehoyada explains that hurricanes are created by loshon hora. The following is a short synopsis. See below for the original.

The posuk starts with Hashem creating mountains and ends with mentioning the speech of man.

Why?

But why, asks the Ben Yehoyada, is there a need for such great hurricane winds in the first place?

The Ben Yehoyada teaches us that after witnessing a great hurricane, every person should learn great musar from it, to guard themselves from the sin of improper speech.
