I hate to be a dick, but I'm an atheist and this is quite a load of BS.

1. If you had posted this before the hurricane had already happened and wasn't old news, now that would have been something.
2. Why didn't god tell you this ahead of time before the hurricane even formed so you could have done something about it?
3. Did you know that in the past 20 years, 37 hurricanes have made landfall? That meets your definition of "broaching".
4. While TX is not often the site of expensive hurricane damage, Rita put it on the map in 2005. It's not like it's hitting in Reno as mentioned above.
5. Where a hurricane is going to hit is known quite a LONG time before it actually hits. So you weren't stating anything (or being "told" anything) that wasn't already known to scientists long before. The growth factor is always a wildcard, but after Katrina, it's a safe bet that any hurricane will be stronger than predicted.
6. I won't even open up the can of worms that is Israel. Suffiice it to say that a rocket gets shot at somebody up in that area every week.
7. He's in charge of these disasters that destroy entire cities, displace families, kill scores of pets, ruin infrastructures for decades to come, spread pestilence and disease, hurts the economy, and more... because... WHY exactly?
8. And why is that comforting to you?

So essentially you're saying that God told you something would happen after it already happened, and it was something that scientists already knew would likely happen days ago, didn't help you save anyone from the disaster, and then makes a blanket statement about Israel and rockets which happens all the time, and taking credit for a disaster is somehow comforting to you. How many other people do you think are getting these "revelations"? Do any of them live in Texas? How do you think they're taking the news? If someone burned my house down, then came up to me the next day and said "I burned your house down - but don't worry about, I'm in control and everything will work out in the end", he'd get beat within an inch of his life.
