There was a program on the War of 1812 called First Invasion that the History Channel did a while back, and I remember they did a whole spot on the burning of Washington and the feeble American response, and then this freak storm occurred. There was actually a tornado which touched down in D.C., and wiped the British away and extinguished the fires. I clearly remember the historian being interviewed saying “we now know a tornado actually touches down, like the wrathful hand of God from the Old Testament...”

OH really? Wow. Good to know this incident was shown on that History Channel program AND that it acknowledged the mysterious and mighty “Hand of God” at work in bringing that tornado through at just the right moment to topple the British soldiers AND to put out the fires they had started in order to try to burn Washington DC down!

Awesome.
