The suggestion that there is a vengeful and indiscriminate cruel God using the weather (or viruses for that matter) to smite folks you don't like just is offensive to the center of gravity on this site. Frankly, it is confusing weather with politics and religious views in a nauseating way. Posters who do it should be bounced. JMO,

You are totally correct. It's a dangerous thing for ANYBODY to make the claim that God is using nature to punish anybody.

One week Iran might get an earthquake. The next week New Orleans is getting slammed by a hurricane. God doesn't play that kind of game folks.
