Best Answer
The difference between them would depend on context, but generally:
To my ear, the first describes something, like a time, an event or a place. Example: "Australia, a place of extreme and wild beauty, a land of drought followed by storm".
The second sounds more like a statement of fact. "Day is followed by night, pain is followed by joy, drought is followed by storm".
As for what comes first, 'followed by' indicates that the second item ('storm') comes after the first ('drought').
