FLOODS - An "ACT OF GOD" or a Luke thirteen?

In the UK recently we have had some rather exceptional weather resulting in flooding which some Christians have interpreted as God's judgement on us as a nation. Some areas of Europe are experiencing a drought as are some other areas of the world and no doubt there too some people who fancy themselves as modern day Elijahs will draw similar conclusions as if we are still inhabiting an earlier act of the Bible timeline.

Were these floods an "Act of God"? The following comments are addressed to the British nation; if others can play Elijah why can't I?!

Some, no doubt well meaning people, have attributed certain recent weather events to God's wrath, presumably therefore the fine weather we enjoyed last Easter was a sign of God's favour - so what went wrong withYOU people out there during those few weeks!? Some of you dropped a clanger didn't you! Well I hope you feel proud of yourselves - spoiling everyone's Summer!

I take note of the fact that the weather has since perked up so all I can say is whatever it is that you are doing now keep it up!
