3] Curves+ Luminosity
4] Clouds- Scale = 204; Roughness = 61; Blend Mode = Color Burn
5] Duplicate Layer
6] Zoom Blur Deluxe Amount = 6th mark from the left; Location = default; Quality = High
7] Top layer: Blend Mode = Negation
8] Merge Layers
9] Color with Curves+
10] Duplicate Layer
11] Top Layer- Distort- Twist = 26
12] Bottom Layer- Distort- Twist = -26

To Drakaan: I know this isn't exactly the "Gathering Storm" tutorial you wanted, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I made that darned image.

Glad you like it!
Most of my abstracts are 50+ steps long but this one looked nice enough and short enough to be a good tutorial.
