I grew up around magats. They're going to interpret natural disasters as "the end times", which means if they survive they're God's special chosen people, and the people who die or suffer must not have had sincere faith and were living a life of sin.

Look! Those two twigs fell in a cross sign! Jesus speaks to us!
God wills it!
It's the Hurricane Surprise Season from now on.
Think of all the good things it will get you! No more pesky "evacuation orders". No more lost time in schools and businesses just because some scientist thought there is a cat 5 coming in and tells you to better stay at home!
You aren't thinking fourth dimensionally.
If we don't measure it, it doesn't exist.
No such thing as a cat 5 hurricane. That's just gonna be called a "Windy boy".
Those hit hardest probably won't call it anything, them being dead.
No more worries about rotting meat on the supermarket shelves because ... no one's gonna inspect it.
mother nature about to deliver what the deep red south voted for.
Can’t wait for them to call FEMA!
Already Arkansas has been denied FEMA funds for tornadoes a few weeks back. The south doesn't have a chance. Florida about to become uninhabitable.
Not a single magat should be rescued
Trump already ignored sanders Huckabee arkansas
Who's rescue them? No fema, no states E.M.A, no rescue, no tents, no hope.

Did you know MS has the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency? I’ve always found it adorable that if you get swept away they’ll send MEMA after you.
"Let us be thankful, oh Lord, for what we are about to receive!"
These aren't the people who treat prayer as a sacred thing. They're the people who think prayer means telling God their wishlist or showing off their morality for others.
Everybody knows that hurricanes are caused by gay sex! No forecast needed.
Hot
I've been doing the wrong rain dance
You'd think there'd be more hurricanes in Utah, then.
Less wind and much more soaking.
Don't live near this person.
All they need to forecast hurricanes is a felt-tip marker and a very stable genius.
Too bad hurricanes mainly hit states that voted for Trump. Oh and what’s the status on FEMA now, I can’t keep track anymore. I’m sure they’ll find a way to blame Biden though.
Trump did tell sanders to deal with it, when tornados ravaged her state.
FEMA's still got ads running in the mountains from the hurricane last year, the one that hit Asheville. So they haven't completely folded anyway.
Round me, they miss calling out a bad hail storm, then abundant warning for one that didn't amount to much.
Thanks orange turd!
Marge says the president controls the weather, so they should be okay, right!?
I thought it Obama's personal weather machine.
Edit: spelling
Maybe he just lent it to Biden...
Thanks Trump!
