How would the paragraph be different if the author did not use figurative language?

As I walked home, the storm began. First the wind struck me
with the force of a prizefighter's fist. Its claws snatched at my

Finally, I succeeded in reaching the house by walking backwards,
all the while feeling the wind thump on my back like
a thousand horses straining for the finish line.
