What was it about Des Moines that incurred God's wrath?

The French name.

LOL!

Okay, I grew up in Des Plaines, Illinois. That means. "Of the plains." :)

I guess that's why I've had so many troubles--I've incurred wrath, LOL! ;) (please excuse this very small joke in the face of horror).

p.s., even worse for those of you in Iowa: Des Moines means: "of the monks". :)
