Workspace.Script:5: attempt to get length of global 'maps' (a nil value) is the output when I run this:

local disasters = game.ServerStorage:GetChildren()

-----------------------------------------
while true do
choseDisaster = disasters[math.random(1, #maps)]
disasterClone = choseDisaster.Clone
disasterClone.Parent = Workspace
wait(180)
disasterClone:remove()
wait(15)
end

You didn't define "maps". Did you mean to put "disasters"?

the variable maps doesn't point to a table value.

Have you...

local Storage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

local maps = {
Storage.Map1, Storage.Map2
}

or

local maps = Storage.Maps:GetChildren()

It is a function. You need to call it. Since it is a method (Part of an object) call it with a colon.

Something:Clone()
