Darktower,
May I suggest you're going about this is in the wrong order. Before you write the opening sentences, you need to do an outline of the whole book - with special attention to the main characters. Do that before you start writing.
By the way, it used to be a joke in writing circles (maybe it is still is), that every amateur novelist always started his first chapter with the words, "It was a dark and stormy night". I'm not suggesting that you amateurish, but your "The storm crashed down on the fields" put me in mind of that.
