Vain, stubborn skeptics disparage and disregard warnings that we'll continue being plagued by inimical natural and manmade forces of evil from without and within.
Ask yourselves, why we of all nations, besides being envied and hated, have super abundance of tornadoes, floods, forest firers, hurricanes, blizzards, earthquakes, droughts? Also divorce, broken homes, single-parent households, incest, adulteries, arson, drug addiction, teen pregnancies, perversion, crime unparalleled, suicides, alcoholism; while movies and TV encourages immorality until our impressionable youth are sodden with idolatry, devil worship, etc.
Statistics like that don't just happen. They're the result of society having gone morally bankrupt, decadent. Ripe for a downfall as ignoble as that of ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome.
Disagree if you will. But studies have shown that immorality, idolatry, etc., unchecked have destroyed most greatest empires of the past.
It all boils down to one inimitable conclusion. Disasters are warning from God that he's angry with our corrupt society encouraged by idol worship of grossly immoral celebrity role models affecting impressionable youth. The spoiled brats, who because of inferiority complexes, copy-cat everything X-rated they see in self-serving movies and TV.

Have at it. Scoffers derided Noah before the flood. Don't deceive yourselves, we're living in perilous times, an age when we can no longer insulate ourselves against land, sea, air and missile attacks by enemy nations.
With nuclear proliferation expanding along with envy and hatred of America, worse scenarios than that of Sept. 11 are possible.
Think. Reason. Pray. And perhaps blessings not missiles may come our way.
