Bad Weather, God Angry?

Photo from source, MSNBC

I have a full schedule today, so posting will be light. Breakfast and dinner plans, plus, The Other Half returns after a four-day trip. So, stuff to do, and a gorgeous day to do it in.

Which makes it difficult to picture some of the truly crappy weather in other parts of the country. Frozen flooding? Ice jams? Tornadoes? Here in Las Vegas at 9:00 am, it is 67 degrees, sunny, and a gentle breeze is blowing. The last few days have been replete with idyllic spring weather, something that only lasts for a few weeks before the wall of fire known as summer arrives.

So, please understand that this post isn't intended to make fun of other people for their bad weather (much). And I don't find anything amusing about a church being destroyed by a tornado, only that there is a measure of irony there. Though this photo was staged, it reminds me of a similar happening in Central America years ago, when a tornado wiped out a church, and it was hailed as a miracle that a statue of Jesus survived. This event was proclaimed as a "miracle," though to me, it looked like JC saving his own butt, to heck with everybody else. But I'm a heretic that way.
