Are those who live in hurricane lanes getting weary of them? Aren't hurricanes bigger/more frequent? Is GOD angry? What for THIS TIME?

We dodged Florence with the  last minute changes in direction that she made. We're directly in the path of Michael. We've been fortunate the last couple of seasons, this time we're in the line of fire. It's what's expected every September-November. I suppose that God could use a hurricane to express his displeasure, but not necessarily. He used a variety of plagues with Egypt. I'm satisfied that when He expresses His anger, we know the origin of the difficulty. It's usually profound and expansive, designed to catch your attention. Not an annual autumn event.

Sorry if my eye rolling was too loud.

A vast majority of televangelists are self-serving liars.  They distort God's word in order to promote their own ambitions.  Their goal is not to help people, but to take their money.  They have served to turn many people away from God - even to the point of causing some people to deny Him.

No one can point to any one event and, with 100% accuracy, claim that it's a "punishment from God".  How God uses His creation - for good or anger - is completely up to Him.  However, if we pollute this world and cause it to change (such as global warming), is that God's fault or are we simply reaping the consequences of our actions? 

Hurricanes are vital to keep this earth functioning.  They help to disperse heat in the oceans.  They also move moisture from the ITCZ (Intertropical convergence zone), mid latitudes, north and south.  There the warm moist air mixes with cool dryer air which helps promote rain and snow (frontal systems).  Moisture does not simply exist where there's a frontal system, but is ever present and ever moving in the constant current of winds around the planet.  Hurricanes have always struck land on occasions.  For some areas they are tehprovider of tehmajoirty of yearly rainfall.  Without them these places would become barren.   In some places where hurricanes make landfall, there are (were) buffer zone (bayous, swamps, mountains, and such) which help to weaken the impact of hurricanes further inland.  Over the years, we (humans) have removed many of these natural buffer zones, replacing them with cities and farmlands, and, occasionally, with smaller artificial buffer zones, or we decide to live in/on them.  What we fail to understand it that just because something hasn't happened recently doesn't mean it wont happen again.  For example, a river hasn't flooded in 25 years, so people naively build homes in its floodplains.  Then when a wet year comes along and those (natural) floodplains floods, people look for someone to  blame - the ones who built the house, to the government, even God.  The same with hurricanes.  While they can make landfall over a wide swath of land, they don't alway do so.  This lulls people into a false sense of "security".  Then when one does strike, who do we blame?  (this by no means lessens the tragedy in any way)

We pollute the planet, causing it to warm.  In response, hurricanes become larger and more frequent as they to do their job disperse the heat.  More heat, more moisture in that heat (warm air holds more moisture than cold air).  More moisture = bigger (stronger) storms (every day frontal systems).  The bigger (stronger) the storms, the stronger the ridges (of higher pressure) that form out ahead and behind them.  The result - floods and droughts.   

Is God displeased with a lot of what we do here?  According to His Word - yes.  Can He use His creation to punish or teach us?  If He so chooses - yes.  Is He merciful?  Yes!  Who's to say that God didn't lessen the severity of a disaster (meaning it could have been even worse)?  Whether we like it or not, disasters are always going to happen.  While we can try to mitigate the outcome, they still will come.  When they do happen, we can sit around trying to lay blame (there is no God, but when something bad happens it's His fault!) or we can lay aside our pettiness and try to help those affected by it.  Ever think the perhaps instead of causing these disasters, God is using them to strengthen us?   Using them to show us that we can love our neighbors  instead of fighting with them over pettiness such as politics, race or nationality?
