God often has intervened in Nature’s work, i.e. parting the sea, calming the storm while on the boat, winds that brought the quail as meat for the Israelites, hail and brimstone on Soddom...etc.. The mastery of God over nature is axiomatic for Christians and Jews. There is no doubt Sandy is God’s permitted will.
These are not comparable...good grief...these storms occur annually...and that’s the way it is....
