In the beginning, there were 2 beings, who gave birth to humankind. The story tells us they weren't actually man & woman, but refers to them in such terms anyway. It's not really explained what the woman was, only that she's "still with [humans]" & that "[humans] still love her, in their own way."

As for the "man," apparently we drove him off & somehow trapped "him." Storms are "him" railing against a weakness in his prison. Lightning is his rage coming through the cracks while rain is his tears & wind is his wailing.

At the end of the story, the storm intensifies & the lightning doesn't go away, because "he's" about to return & kill us in revenge.
