Um actually Jesus himself said there would be an increase in disasters and upheaval just before the end times. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that this could be a sign. Cosidering how many storms NO has been spared from in the last few years either by change in course or dramatic weakening at the last minute, it is possible. I think it gives unbelievers ammo when people make blanket statements about how God works when in a case like this, we really don't know if this is His judgement. The important thing is to show mercy to the suffering whether we think they we're foolish to stay or not. God knows, I've made some poor decisions in my life and I'm grateful that I'm not paying for them now.

Believers and unbelievers shouldn't dwell on the small things.

I agree but we don't need a FREEPER preaching from the Mount letting us know what God had planned.

Just imagine what would have been if not for this puff of dry air:

"But the storm actually turned out to be much less powerful than predicted. Meteorologists say a puff of dry air coming out of the Midwest weakened Katrina just before it reached land, transforming a Category 5 monster into a less-threatening Category 3 storm. "

The problem is there's been no increase in disasters and upheaval.

Yes. Let's do that, and leave the preaching for some other time.
