If I'm not mistaken if there is a storm that eliminates shields in a certain sector then all items in that sector have no shields, planets, ships, bases, etc...

Those storms don't nullify shields completely, they just subtract 5000 or so from the max.
If you have more than 5000 planetary shields, or a starbase full of shield generators, you can still have shields left in combat.
A shielded planet vs a bunch of shield-disabled ships will be quite quite devastating to the attackers...
