A course of action that would appear to lead to a good outcome, but when undertaken, leads to a situation that is utterly out of control beyond human comprehension.

A situation where oneself or something of value to self becomes attacked by a large quantity of basically crap, which must be fended off at a high rate in order to return the system to normal.
The DDOS attack against our primary server started this morning. So can imagine the shitstorm we've had to go through.

A discussion about something totally pointless and inane that got out of hand and now consists of people fighting over nothing.
Basically like a flamewar, just that the discussion itself, as well as the participants, are so utterly stupid that it's impossible to put into words. Shitstorms like these always tend to be really easy to start, even when you don't want it - just like an avalanche, one false step (or word) can be enough to set free a shitstorm of epic proportions. One easy example for this is the ongoing console-fanyboy war.

When a tornado hits an exposed septic tank and sends all the contents into the air, where it falls down in a rain-like pattern.
Idiot 1: Dude, there is crap all over the place!
Idiot 2: I know man, that tornado went straight for my house's septic tank and produced a shitstorm.
Idiot 1: I can tell you are a fan of corn.

When a large flock of birds, flying overhead, all simultaneously release their bowels, spilling their shit all over you in a rain-like pattern.

Guy 1: Good thing I had my umbrella. The shit fell like rain.
Guy 2: Lucky you.
