From the Wisdom of Kabbalah, we learn that our ego is the "will to receive", and we need to correct ourselves to "bestowing/giving to others", just as the Creator bestows upon all His creation.
When I looked at the below pictures, the thought that immediately came to mind was that it reminded me of a hurricane.
When I really think about this and relate what hurricanes can be telling us, if we apply what is said in the above - we still have a long way to go to correct our ego. We, as human beings, are at the height of our ego, and we are experiencing a lot more hurricanes.
In reality, hurricanes are not evil, but are showing us that we are all about ourselves and receiving for ourselves, and we need to correct that, into giving unto others, loving one another, etc. Need proof that this is the message? What happens when there is devastation? People come together to help one another! Hurricanes swirl around drawing destruction to all those in its path, just as we do when we care only for ourselves.
We are receiving a message from the Creator about what mankind needs to do. Instead of hating one another and only caring about having our voices heard, let's love one another, appreciate the differences, even if different from ourselves, our point of view, etc.
When we correct ourselves, we correct all of creation. (Note that in Noah's time, the Bible says the EARTH was corrupt. That not only applies to mankind, but literally, the EARTH! We have an impact on our environment, including the planet.)
By the way, the calmness of the "eye" of the storm resembles the presence of the Shekinah/Creator's presence (unified), sitting in the center. When we correct our ego, there is peace.
