    Have any amazing stories about miracles that happened during the hurricane? I’ll start off.

    In Philly, a HUGE tree that was right next to a shul fell down because of the storm. Boruch Hashem it fell in the opposite direction. Had it hit the shul, it surely would have destroyed a major part of the building.

    Hundreds, if not thousands of people who would have died from such a storm onky two generations ago failed to die due to very good weather prediction and excellent preparation. A thousand souls in two days!

    ronsr, that’s very profound. I actually never thought of it that way.

    Yes, oy vey, there are those who view this natural occurence as a warning from Hashem, but I view it as encouragement for us to continue to complete his work of creation, to observe, study and learn and apply that knowledge to reducing suffering in the world. The message could be, “job well done, but you can do better – next hurricane I would be more pleased if fewer of my children died.”

    “Failed to die”? That’s one failing I hope we all have.
