Are you of the school that believes God creates and guides hurricanes to specific places as punishment?
Seems resonable. God has a history of punishing man by 'natural events'.
Not entirely, unless prophetic warning and a chance for repentance has been given. Ninevah escaped destruction because of Jonah, as a tool of God's love, preaching repentance. Sodom and Gomorrah were given the opportunity to repent and did not.
