The canonical "butterfly storm" would gather its energy from the same source as normal storms: The overall heat energy of the atmosphere/ocean, and to a much lesser extent, from the coriolis effect.
There are problably countless other energy sources that such a storm could feed off of, and I would imagine that this contributes to the overall chaotic nature of weather.
