Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of Julius Caesar.

[CASSIUS.] Now know you, Casca, I have moved already
Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans
To undergo with me an enterprise
Of honourable dangerous consequence.
And I do know by this, they stay for me
In Pompey’s Porch. For now this fearful night
There is no stir or walking in the streets;
And the complexion of the element
In favour’s like the work we have in hand,
Most bloody, fiery, and most terrible.

What impact does the storm have on the plot?

causes the conspirators to move up their plan
makes Cassius more confident about what he has in mind
provides time to mourn Pompey’s death
prevents anyone from attending the planned meeting
