Expansive topic so i will make it summarised. Different groups in the taariikh when they disobeyed allaah they were all punished with disasters, and these disasters are different but the wording is always kept in a specific way, I will pull from suuratul qamar because it has the best overview and is just generally a nice sura

{كَذَّبَتۡ عَادٞ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ ● إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ رِيحٗا صَرۡصَرٗا فِي يَوۡمِ نَحۡسٖ مُّسۡتَمِرّٖ ● تَنزِعُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٖ مُّنقَعِرٖ}​
{Caad denied so how was My torment and warnings? ● Indeed we sent upon them Riixan Sarsaran (a bitterly cold and violent wind) in a day of continuous misfortune ● Extracting the people as if they were uprooted Acjaazu Nakhlin (roots of date palm)}

Similarly in suuratul xaaqqah
{وَأَمَّا عَادٞ فَأُهۡلِكُواْ بِرِيحٖ صَرۡصَرٍ عَاتِيَةٖ ● سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ سَبۡعَ لَيَالٖ وَثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومٗاۖ فَتَرَى ٱلۡقَوۡمَ فِيهَا صَرۡعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمۡ أَعۡجَازُ نَخۡلٍ خَاوِيَةٖ}​
{And as for Caad, they were destroyed by a violent Riixin Sarsarin ● which He imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you see the people fallen as if they were hollow Acjaazu Nakhlin}

Allaah deliberately uses word choice like these to make 'callbacks' and reference groups maybe without mentioning by name, for example in suuratul israa
{أَفَأَمِنتُمۡ أَن يَخۡسِفَ بِكُمۡ جَانِبَ ٱلۡبَرِّ أَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حَاصِبٗا ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُواْ لَكُمۡ وَكِيلًا}​
{Do you then feel safe [from] that He may make you sunk by the side of the land, or send upon you Xaasiban (a hail of stones), then you would not find a Wakiil for you}

This references both Qaaruun of qawmu muusa and qawmu Luut, where qaaruun was swallowed {خسف} side with the land, and qawmu lut had the rain of stones fall upon them {حاصب}

There are more but this post would get too long
