God doesn’t punish people by generating natural disasters. Jesus addressed this issue in Luke 13:4, when discussing the collapse of a tower in Shilokha (Siloam), a suburb of Jerusalem, in which 18 people were killed:

4“Or those eighteen upon whom the tower of Shilokha fell and killed them; do you think that they were sinners more so than all the children of men who dwell in Jerusalem?” 5“No, but I say to you, unless you repent, all of you shall be destroyed like they were.”

Really? - His word tells us in hundreds of places that he punishes nations.

Agreed editor-surveyor. What the verse above indicates is that ALL deserve to have the "tower fall", or the "tornado hit". The point is not why did God not send it where I would have, but rather why did God show me mercy and spare me from what I most deserved.
