A storm followed.


隨之而來的是一場暴風雨。


Lightning is usually followed by thunder.


在閃電之後通常有雷聲.


Literally, I believe "followed by" is more logical. Since this sentence is written by a Reuters journalist, we may guess other possibilities. One possibility, I guess, is that "by" is ommitted, because there is no other understanding about which city is the most stressed one.
