People believe Storm can manipulate matter and energy when it is not organized as weatherpatterns (sometimes a few other elemental patterns like a star), but she can't. She can't shut people's brains down by playing with their electrical activity and she can control the water in people's bodies or make it freeze like Iceman can.
Now you're just being difficult. The METHOD of freezing is quite different, but the effect is very much the same.Flash freezing:
Shatters a robot with freezing rain in a matter of seconds.

It's very well within her powerset to do so, although the only examples I can think of would be her directly manipulating the air within a human body and other, inanimate, objects.
