My understanding of the term "broadcast storm" involves retransmission of an entire frame, which requires that frame to be held somewhere - for example within a switch that uses store-and-forward. 🤔
I'd wager that even a switch with cut-through switching would be able to fall back on store-and-forward for situations when a port is already busy.
