What was God pissed at during the Johnstown Flood in 1889 when 2,200 people were killed? Abortion was illegal at the time too.

Weather sometimes just happens, especially during a long winter with sudden spikes of higher temps.

Extremely sad day today, but God is always there to comfort.

A lot of people blame God when anything bad happens; just like when the devil sent a storm and a wind that killed Job’s children.

IIRC, the Johnstown Flood was less an issue with the terrible side of nature (heavy rainfall, for some time, but not biblical in intensity) and more an issue with a poorly made earthen dam.

THAT was one scary event. I read the book, and the guy who was in the train heading into town at full speed ahead of the flood while blowing his whistle is just hair raising to consider.

This tornado was a freak of nature, as ones that size and strength are.
