Are the Southern Preachers Proclaiming that The Tornadoes are God's Wrath?

Because that's what they did each and every time a natural disaster happened in, say, California.

It was God's wrath for accepting the sodomites.

And I want them to be made whole, and quickly, and while my heart goes out to my fellow Americans, it is not lost on me that the salt the right rubs into the wounds is missing.

from all over believed we were in the "end times" and were expecting the end at any time. Of course they believe climate disasters and threats of pandemics, with political unrest and dissension on top of it, are increasing proof of what they know. They're sensible people (open to interpretation, of course) who don't need whack job "Southern Preachers" to point out the obvious.

or if they had locked up Hillary - just remember that they have a plaster for all their sores.
Truth is this has been a horrific event for folks in those communities - nature is random and can be seriously vicious.
