Good questions. Answer: there aren't. Any storm is a manifest Storm God worship of nature's forces, spirits, etc. Any outbreak of a plague is a disease worship. (Especially the latter, with "involuntary initiation".)

You don't need puny humans to worship, there are the elements, the spirit world, etc.

Worship without priests and services? Sure. All of existance in Glorantha is sort of worship of Glorantha. The deity Time receives the worship of all the mundane world.
