Do you believe a storm can develop without the real-time intervention of God or not?

That is a meaningless question. God is not constrained by time. He makes/made/will make/has made/etc. storms when we see them occur. We sense time. We sense pain. We are here and not there. God is omnipresent.

What do you consider a miracle? Life turns water into wine each and every day. Life turns non-life into life every day. How does it do that?

I don't think it is. I think you're waxing philosophical or theological in a way that obscures a real difference. Life turns water into wine through well understood, manipulable, controllable, repeatable physical processes. Miracles don't work that way. I understand that it may be all the same to God, but as participants in the physical world He created, I think the difference between things that just happen because of the actions of His physical laws, and things that require a violation or suspension of those laws, is a valid one.
