So hard to watch, The devastations are unbelievable, such large scale of loss. In the face of mother nature, humans are so small, next to nothing.

Mercury vapor lights are easier to tell, but if you zoom in on them they get greener on camera than they look visually. Are these replaced again with mercury vapor lights in important evacuation areas like the purple streetlights tend to be in cities also? They are both UV based. I think that they seem like they mark areas for evacuation from cities when people really want to leave.

Prayers for everyone hope no one got hurt everyone I know it’s sad when a storm chop down your house/car or store but you can’t give up you need be strong God is with your watching you and Jesus Christ is your strength and shield to protect you from everything.

Was Jesus on holiday when the storm hit? Was he watching something else law instead of pushing the storm out to see instead of killing hundreds ? Or is your god a malevolent god and likes watching innocent people suffer ? Just curious . Your all powerful god seems to pick and choose pretty randomly

@elnabenoit Жыл бұрын

So God just sat back and watched as the houses blew down? And that makes you feel better? Jesus seems like a pretty poor shield since he did nothing about those Floridians who drowned in their own front rooms. You may call that "protection" - but I don't.

Maybe he shouldn’t have been so caulky in his interviews before the storm on local news. “Buildings are built to survive these storms and I’m 40+ years living here. I’m not concerned”

What the f does politics have to do with natural disasters? So are you saying the next time there's a huge fire in the west or earthquakes all over the world or floods all over the world these people deserved it? Glad I'm not so high and mighty. No wonder I think politicians are a waste
