HADAD
Canaanite Storm God
Also known as Rimmon
Blundering Canaanite Storm God
Known as ‘The Crasher’.
Unlike most Storm Gods who bellow, roar and wield mighty thunder-generating weapons, Hadad causes thunder by stumbling around the sky and falling over things. How embarrassing.
Still, he does get a mention in the Old Testament under the name of Rimmon. And over in Babylon he was greatly respected under the name Adad.
