The Question:
Destructive weather we have not discussed has been hurricanes. What does the symbolism behind these reveal? What does it mean that some areas get them periodically and others do not?
Interesting comments on hurricanes. I should have also mentioned tornadoes for I'm sure they fall in a similar category esoterically.
First, someone (I don't recall who) stated that there were storms before humans were on the earth as an indication that humans are not the cause. This may be true and of course there are storms on all planets with an atmosphere whether they have intelligent life or not.
This, however, does not contradict anything I have said on the subject. I never said that humans were the single cause of storms, but listed accepted scientific causes at the beginning of this subject. Instead of humans being the cause they are instead a powerful influence, which influences the timing, location and potency of storms. For instance, if Kerry would have won the election it is quite possible that instead of record precipitation in the Los Angeles area and clear skies in Republican Idaho the situation would have been reversed.
Incidentally, it looks as if the blue states have not transcended their cloudy attitude for the northeastern states are being hit again with record snowstorms.

Have you seen the websites which show that the counties (red counties) which voted for Bush were hardest hit?
I've heard that only the Bush counties in Florida were hit. I think you're right that the Bush counties were hardest hit but not the only ones hit as many are purporting. This fabrication is corrected on the following web page:

Overall though, hurricanes and tornadoes seem to strike the red states more than the blue states. What is interesting is the type of red states that suffer. They seem to fall into two categories.
What do these two have in common? Basically they are both resistant to change and new ways of thinking.
Concerning hurricanes Rob wrote:
As far as hurricanes go--doesn't air represent mind and thought? If that's true then I would have to conclude something is happening in the mind of a population which is causing hurricane formation and/or attraction.
Air can be calm or fast-moving, producing peace or destruction. Thoughts can also promote peace or destruction. Positive thoughts can bring inner peace and a corresponding outer-expression of peace, while negative thoughts produce inner-storms that cause people to feel and act in destructive ways. So then maybe hurricanes are created and/or attracted by negative, destructive thoughts (destructive air) circulating about a kind of mass aura.
Evelyn added:
Hurricanes are created from unexpressed energy. Unexpressed energy is destructive. I like to think of it as a time bomb that has finally exploded. We all have internal time bombs. We take and take until we can't anymore and suddenly we erupt in anger. Until the consciousness of the planet changes, for the betterment of humanity, we will continue to experience natural disasters. As they are occurring more frequently, we need to examine our thinking and behaviors and then make changes. What is no longer conducive to our growth, we need to throw out.
John C:
I think Will or Purpose has something to do with hurricanes. I think they represent change and the destructive aspect of Purpose. The eye of a hurricane is a center of calm purpose, but around the periphery is a frenzy of activity, moving in a circular motion: first one way, and then the other, as the eye passes over.
The hurricane would indeed be largely connected with the mind as air is its symbol. Hurricanes are attracted to areas where thinking and mental flexibility has stagnated. The hurricane comes in and forces change with a vengeance. As most know, the eye of the hurricane is an extremely peaceful center. This tells us that in the midst of turbulence and change that we too can be at peace if we stand in the center of our being, move with the energy and accept the inevitable.
There is one more influence on the weather on this and other planets and that is the fact that planets themselves are living entities and storms are an expression of their emotional nature.
