Hurricane Sandy is bearing down on the East Coast of the US. Apart from Virginia (which is a toss-up), all the other states in its path vote reliably Democratic.
If Sandy does wreak a large amount of damage, I wonder who will be the first crazy preacher to suggest that this is god’s punishment for the liberal leanings of the people in that region, their support for same-sex marriage, and their pro-choice views.
UPDATE: It looks like we may already have a winner!

Not quite the same, but related, I think:

The Friendly Atheist has What’s Causing Hurricane Sandy? Let’s Ask Some Christians Who Know Nothing About Science… which has the same preacher as Crommunist’s link talking about the first Bush president dividing Israel 21 years ago, which is 3 x 7 which are God’s lucky numbers. There’s also a Margie Phelps rant.

It’s not exactly on topic, but this link has someone postulating that somehow Hurricane Sandy is a deliberate effort to influence the election in Obama’s favour.

Which makes no sense whatsoever (not that Infowars does), since the states that have been most affected – NY, NJ, CT, PA, MD, and WV – all tend to be blue states who would likely go for Obama in the election.
