10a. Rent delay leads to a huge storm (7). T?R?A?O. I can see Rent=Torn. Storm=Tornado but I can not parse the rest.

ado can mean delay or at least it used to, this definition is given as 'dated';
" trouble or difficulty.
"I hastened there without delay or ado""

have you tried writing 'define' followed by the word you're after in google? it's not bad.
