I'm not sure how far one can push the Jungian conection. Jung's Archetypes are basically biological in nature. Synchronicity may play some part in the Great Storm of Notion Club & the Great Storm of the real world, both of which happen in 1987, but I'm not too sure. Its certainly one of the wierdest conections between the Secondary & Primary worlds.
From a Jungian point of view, storms (& Eagles) could be seen to symbolise an 'irruption' from the Collective Unconscious/spiritual level of reality into the mundane. Manwe's presence is constant throughout LotR - storms, Eagles, &, of course, Gandalf himself, one of the Maiar who served Manwe. That's all probably in the thread Saucepan Man has pointed us to, but I haven't got time to read through it at the moment!
