They are to be taken seriously. The damage that has been seen, documented, lived through can be absolutely enormous. Lives are torn apart, taken, forever changed. The aftermath to clean up the destruction and to rebuild or start anew elsewhere is daunting. We all agree.
The choice to live in the part of the planet where these weather conditions exist on a YEARLY basis is just that....choice. Poverty constricts some from leaving . Family situations effects others. Yet the chance is 99.999 percent that there will be tropical storms and hurricanes for those that reside in the Caribbean, Florida, the Gulf Coast, the southern Atlantic coastal states every July through October every single year. We can all agree with that statement as well.
So when one of these horrific storms hits a populated area every single year one person who gets interviewed will undoubtedly say on camera, "I can't believe God would let this happen." I will share with you that that statement sends me personally right over the edge. Does that person REALLY and TRULY believe that God just decides one day on a whim that He is bored and needs a good 'ole hurricane to add a little excitement to His day and some necessary mayhem to Earth???!? Come on. Do not insult the Lord. You live in Hurricane Alley, it's August, our climate has changed due to Ozone depletion from our pollution, the planet's temperature is rising in places, blah blah blah blah blah ....and you are blaming the Lord.
Just deal with the life you have chosen. Your fellow humans are here to count on for help and support. That's how we share His great love. Agreed? Agreed.
