Storms

I wonder about all the hurricanes and tropical storms that have hit the US mainland recently. As I write, Hurricane Ike is headed toward Texas. Is God directing these storms, or has He set the world on a course and let it go it's own way? Is our weather the result of so-called global warming caused by mankind? I believe it is the height of arrogance to believe that we can have much to do with the climate of this vast planet. Are the storms the result of man's having poluted the planet, or even the result of our fallen nature and sin? I don't have all the answers, but I still believe God is in control, even if He let's nature take it's course. What do you think? Shan
