PhuturePriest Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) God is not pleased with the nominee and therefore smote the Republican Convention down by hurricane force: [url="http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/isaac-may-impact-2012-republic/70534"]http://www.accuweath...-republic/70534[/url] All this being said, it's totally not going to hit Florida. The chances are it will go towards Mexico or it will downsize. Edited August 22, 2012 by FuturePriest387 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not sure if it's tongue and cheek, but I find statements like this a bit problematic, to be honest -- or at the very least I am somewhat confused by the notion and don't know what to make of statements about natural disasters being acts of God. Are we to also conclude that the Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami in 2004 that killed hundreds of thousands was also an act of God? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not all that sure it will hit Florida. A lot depends on terrain where it will cross Cuba. Besides, natural conditions significantly limit chance of storm coming into Tampa from gulf. Lastly, this isn't new Orleans. We know what to do, how to do it, and have plans set up. Hurricanes don't surprise us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 <sigh> There was a hurricane 4 years ago, too. Hurricanes in August are not uncommon. Neither are political conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this whole thing is stupid. The hurricane either won't hit or it won't affect anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 God disproves of this thread. I advise move to lame board to not receive His wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin31 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Scheduling a major media and political event in an area frequently hit by hurricanes during the peak of hurricane season was probably not the wisest choice on the part of the RNC.

[/quote] Perhaps not. But maybe putting it in Florida was a political move in order to help ensure a victory in Florida? I'm not sure, but it seems like a tactical move they would make.

Adrestia Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What if weather events, which are called "acts of God" in places, really did have something to do with His approval or disapproval? When hurricane Ike hit my home, was it because He disapproved of my decision to move to Texas or was it because He disapproved of my interior design, appliances & furnishings? I went with the latter, so I stayed and rebuilt. Since we haven't yet had another hurricane strike us, I must believe that God approves of my new granite countertops and solid wood cabinets. He surely approves of my fabulous red washer & dryer, and is also pleased that I didn't get the stands or have them stacked. Praise the Lord! If I had chosen the wrong new furniture we could have been flooded again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hmm, all that hot air near a large body of water would probably have an impact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
