It is my opinion that the trusted Words of Seth puts the whole hurricane thing in perspective – far more sensible to those whose eyes are open.
Seth:
Natural disasters possess the great rousing energy of powers unleashed, of nature escaping man’s discipline, and by their very characteristics also remind man of his own psyche; for in their way such profound events always involve creativity being born, rising even from the bowels of the earth, reshaping the land and the lives of men.
Individual reactions follow this innate knowledge, for while man fears the unleashed power of nature and tries to protect himself from it, he revels in it and identifies with it at the same time.
The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature—and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.
As nothing else can, a great encounter with the full energy of the elements puts man face to face with the incredible potency from which he springs.
For many people, a natural calamity provides their first personal experience with the realities of creaturehood’s connection with the planet.
Under such conditions men who feel a part of nothing, of no structure or family or country, can understand in a flash their comradeship with the earth, their place upon it and its energy; through suddenly recognizing that relationship they feel their own power for action.
On quite a different level, riots often serve the same purpose, where the release of energy, for whatever reasons, introduces a group of individuals to the intimate recognition that highly concentrated vitality exists. They may not have found it earlier in their lives.
This recognition can lead them—and often does—to seize their own energy and use it in a strong creative manner.
A natural catastrophe or a riot are both energy baths, potent and highly positive in their ways despite their obvious connotations.
