sango or shango is actually the God (spirit) of thunder and Osun was his last and favorite wife (she was the goodess of the river, thus the osun river located in nigeria). When they put their powers together they could create storms (maybe that's why you thought Shango was the spirit of storms

Voodoo means introspection(vo) into the unknown(dou or du)culturally it is a form of ancestor worship in which the souls are dead,lmowm as loa or mysteres are evoked and made manifestthrought ritual. Voodoo is more correctly known as Vodun, although other titles include Vodoun, Voudou, and Sevi Lwa. "The name is traceable to an African word for 'spirit'. Vodun's roots go back to the West African Yoruba people who lived in 18th and 19th century Dahomey. That country occupied parts of today's Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Slaves brought their religion with them when they were forcibly shipped to Haiti and other islands in the West Indies".

Yemaya is the Orisha

of the oceans and seas.

African slaves were brought on ships

across the ocean to the New World.

They gave thanks to Yemaya

for making the crossing alive.

Wemba pays tribute to Yemaya in a performance

called, "The Middle Passage".

Shango
by Micha F. Lindemans
The god of thunder and the ancestor of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. He is the son of Yemaja the mother goddess and protector of birth. Shango (Xango) has three wives: Oya, who stole Shango's secrets of magic; Oschun, the river goddess who is Shango's favorite because of her culinary abilities; and Oba, who tried to win his love by offering her ear for him to eat. He sent her away in anger and she became the river Oba, which is very turbulent where it meets the river Oschun.
Shango is portrayed with a double axe on his head (the symbol of thunder), with six eyes and sometimes with three heads. His symbolic animal is the ram, and his favorite colors are red and white, which are regarded as being holy. In Brazil, Shango is worshipped as a thunder and weather god by the Umbandists. In Santeria, Shango (Chango) is the equivalent of the Catholic saint St. Barbara.

Shango was once the fourth king of Yoruba, immortalized after death.
