In the Virgin Islands there is an inter-faith 'Hurricane Supplication Day' (a rogativo or rogation) at the beginning of the Hurricane season and a 'Hurricane Thanksgiving Day' at the end (3rd Monday in October). The Jewish community in St Thomas used to sing this Thanksgiving hymn, "O Hurricane" attributed to Benjamin Cohen Carillon, minister in Jamaica. It was sung by the Hazan Samuel Elias Levy Maduro on the Oct 25 1837 after the severe storm on Aug 2 that year:O Hurricane! great is thy power,Tremendous is thy might,O we remember in this hourThy dark and awful sight!But though no human care and skillCan e'er withdraw thy hand,One reigns in Zion's holy hillWhose fiat none withstand.Though thou canst shake both land and sea,Thou art a creature still:How measureless thy power be,Thou must obey His will.And couldst thou rage in all the skyAbove all human thought,One word of Him that lives on high,And thou returnst to naught.We will then look on Him above,Whose arm alone can saveThe life, that He in endless loveHis human creatures gave.Nay, Hurricane, we do not fearNor tremble for our lot;One greater yet than thee is here,'Tis Israel's unit God.This remained in the community's 'Hymnal' until the 1960s, a fragment of a lost Hurricane liturgy. (see J.H. Cohen "Through the sands of time" pp 58-9.)
