I rest my case - you are obviously among those who “don’t get it” and likely never will. Yes, there have been storms since The Flood, but the number and intensity of those in America over the past several years in beyond coincidence.
Why? Because he doesn't agree with you? Whence this notion that if one doesn't agree than one doesn't "get it". Why the airy dismissal of the idea that one understands [a.k.a. "get it"] but one still disagrees?
To an extent I, for one, think Weeedy is on the right track: "The gist of the ‘God is punishing us” message is for the IQ challenged among us.'. I can't say I agree with the term "IQ challenged", but I do believe that those who proclaim the Revelation is lurking just below the horizon say more about themselves* than anything else.
As a cure for this I would recommend some serious reading of serious pre-1965 American history books and biographies circa 1789-1860.

Do you have any sort of source for this?
