CALL it the land of fire and flood.
Natural disasters are wreaking havoc across the US, with the entire state of Florida on emergency flood watch - while, in Colorado, half of the country's entire firefighting force is battling massive blazes that have displaced thousands.
Tropical Storm Debby has flooded low-lying neighbourhoods near Tampa, with forecasts predicting as much as 1.5m of flooding to some coastal areas.
Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency.
In Colorado, officials at the National Interagency Fire Centre said high temperatures and strong winds represented "extreme growth potential" for the three large fires burning areas usually packed with tourists at this time of year.
The newest blaze, the Waldo Canyon fire, erupted on Saturday night and forced 11,000 people from their homes near Pikes Peak, a mountain whose stunning views inspired the patriotic anthem America the Beautiful. The largest blaze, the High Park fire, has destroyed 248 homes.
Governor John Hickenlooper said C-130 military transport planes were assisting fire crews.
Local Amanda Rice said: "It was just this God-awful orange glow. It was surreal. It honestly looked like hell was opening up."
(with obvious well wishes to anyone in the affected areas)

Don't build your house out of wood in a fire prone area and don't build your house in a possible flood zone.

God is telling America that he agrees with the scientists that we are undergoing climate change.

Peter Ahlwardt in "Reasonable and Theological Considerations about Thunder and Lightning", (1745) advised individuals seeking cover from lightning to go anywhere except in or around a church.
In Hungarian, the folksy name of thunderbolt is "heaven's stone" (mennykő).

God is trying to tell America that America is Awesome!
God is trying to tell sinners that this mortal existence is fragile and if you fear natural disaster and death it is because you are inadequate spiritually and you should heed the warnings.
God is telling believers that of this earth they are stewards, not commanders.
The news media is trying to tell America that it needs to sell papers
i am trying to tell you that the above listed occurrences are relatively small in the expanse of this country, more so globally. Though they devastate the few, they are insignificant to the many because of the selfishness of men....God whispers what should be loud and clear to our hearts....but the internet is cool.
