Personal Life
On September 7, 2007, Storms was pulled over on a Los Angeles freeway by California Highway Patrol for tossing a lit cigarette out of the window of her Mercedes. Officers then noticed "the odor of an alcoholic beverage" coming from the car and after failing sobriety tests, she was arrested for DUI. Her blood alcohol content was measured at 0.13, above the California legal limit of 0.08. In November 2007, she pled no contest to the charges and was ordered to attend twelve Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, complete a 90-day alcohol program, and pay $1,643 in fines. She also had her license suspended for six months and was placed on three years probation.
Storms is very close friends with current General Hospital co-star Kelly Monaco. They were both featured in the reality show Dirty Soap which debuted on September 25, 2011.
She is a cousin to former University of Georgia quarterback and current Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
In 2011, Storms' performance had been affected by an illness, causing her to walk off set or miss work altogether due to bouts of severe pain. Later, it was discovered that she has a serious case of endometriosis. Dirty Soap showed her deal with the painful illness, and how her friends Kelly Monaco and Farah Fath tried to learn more about what she is going through and help her.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
