Note
One spelling does double duty here: the simple past (the storm raged) and the perfect after have (the storm had raged). Because rage is mostly intransitive, raged seldom follows be. A passive like "was raged" belongs only to the obsolete, rare sense "to enrage." In Australian, New Zealand and US slang it can also mean partied hard, as in "we raged all night."
