[I still care]

The bible is very clear that God does bring disaster as punishment, or to turn people’s hearts. But for us to make a specific pronouncement is arrogant. We can’t know why God does any specific thing.

So the purpose of God's the disaster should not be discussed and never be assumed to be a punishment?

So God will punish and no one will ever know for what reason.

Does the city of Sodom bring anything to mind?

Well said. Consider this:
Matt. 5: 44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
