his daughter hasn't told him
about the car dent

    Clever and witty. Nice element of surprise.

                =========

    This is a very interesting perspective.
    You'd rather expect:

    approaching storm --
    hasn't told her dad
    about the car dent

    since it's the daughter who knows of the approaching storm.
    So we have a situation where the central actor - the dad - doesn't even know about this approaching (non-)climatic event, that we've been let in on.
    Nice tension, very effective.

    storm approaching
    another ...
    catches her eye

    open secret
    his preference to keep quiet
    about his sexual orientation

    horns sound
    somewhere in the tunnel --
    the all's clear signal
