If it's any consolation, we've had churches in our area (central Florida) destroyed by fire, arson, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc

Apples & Florida Oranges.

Acts of nature vs. act of human EVIL.

“Acts of nature vs. act of human EVIL.”

Not necessarily. Several of the churches were deliberately torched (all of one was burnt EXCEPT the altar). Their ministers/deacons all said “it's not the building that makes a church, it's the people”. All that they reported on held services outside the next Sunday.

It would be extremely hard to lose St. Nicholas. As old as that church is, I imagine people have grown up in it; married in it; had their babies christened there; and their final services. Probably, generations of families have attended.

Hopefully, with the attention they are receiving, something can be done to preserve and restore the building.
