Thats my theory anyway.
The Highstorms don't come from the Almighty, they are from Odium. I saw Roshar divided into 3 sections. The far west (Shin) protected/nurtured by cultivation, the central region protected by the Almighty, and the far east the origin of the highstorms destroyed by Odium. Cultivation's area may have been larger but she was pushed westward when the Almighty died.
