No, *qay'wI'* is /something that is a problem./ But you were having 
trouble understanding *vungwI',* so ghunchu'wI' compared it to 
*qay'wI',* which you use all the time.

Personally, I wouldn't use *qay'wI'* as often as you do, and wouldn't at 
all for /hurricane./ I wouldn't say *qay'wI' vIghaj* or *qay'wI' 
tu'lu';* I'd say *qay' vay'.* I WOULD use *qay'wI'* in a sentence like 
*qay'wI' yIngu'*/Identify the thing that is a problem./ But once that 
had been identified, I would at most use it as an adjectival verb: 
*jolvoy' qay' vItI'*/I fix the problematical transporter ionizer unit./ 
Klingon likes precision.

It's not wrong. It's just not using Klingon in its strongest way.
