Storm is a triggered ability that functions on the stack. “Storm” means “When you cast this spell, copy it for each other spell that was cast before it this turn. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for any of the copies.”
Storm
If a spell has multiple instances of storm, each triggers separately.
When casting a spell bestowed, only its characteristics as modified by the bestow ability are evaluated to determine if it can be cast.
Rulings
A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won't affect the copies.
The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.
The copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren't cast and won't be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.
Spells cast from zones other than a player's hand and spells that were countered are counted by the storm ability.
You may choose new targets for any of the copies. You can make different choices for each copy.
