I Might Could
You might think that this sounds strange, but this double modal is used in the south. It means that a person might be down to do something in the future. Let us pretend that someone asked you, “Are you going to work on the car later?” You can always respond by saying, “I might could.” As you might have figured out by now, Southern slang involves cutting down the number of words that you need in the response. This is just a shorter way to tell someone, “I’m not sure but I might decide to do it later.”

It’s Blowin’ Up A Storm
We have talked a lot about metaphors, but this one actually means what it looks like it means. In the south, you use this phrase to talk about the smell, look, and feel of an approaching storm. You might notice that the temperature has dropped or felt the strong breeze all of a sudden. This also involves the scent of rain, as well as the sight of lightning. If you ask us, we really would not mind other people using this phrase in the same way!
