Just happened across a quote from HP Blavatsky which seems pretty relevant to all this hurricane talk:

Nothing of that which is conducive to help man, collectively or individually, to live—not “happily”—but less unhappily in this world, ought to be indifferent to the Theosophist-Occultist. It is no concern of his whether his help benefits a man in his worldly or spiritual progress; his first duty is to be ever ready to help if he can, without stopping to philosophize.

I know there’s a lot of scuttlebutt surrounding her, but that’s a good sentiment.
