Tornado in City of Philadelphia, PA

Fox 29 (WTXF, Fox 29 News at 10) in Philadelphia and the NWS are reporting that an F-0 ("F-0," "F-Zero") tornado touched down in Northeast Philadelphia a few hours ago. Other than destroying some roofs (a beer/liquor distributorship), making a mess, and causing some general havoc, no injuries were reported. Winds were reported to be in excess of 75 miles an hour, the tornado was reported to be 30 to 50 feet wide, and the tornado survived on the ground for a duration of approximately 20 seconds. Being in the greater Phila. area this evening, and as they seemed to have done several times in the past, maybe the tornado gods were saying hello to me in their own special way? :)

The Finger of God – A Tornado

March 21st, 2010


A tornado may well be the finger of God. If not in a literal sense, such certainly qualifies in a metaphysical sense, anyhow.

Would He unleash such havoc with absolutely no warning? Or maybe more likely, would He give us a forewarning that was dependent on our knowing where to look to read the warning signs?

PS. Not that I mean to necessarily proselytize here, but I kind’a think any possible tornado warnings may come from Saint Barbara and Saint Diego/Saint Didacus of Alcalá. (From Wikipedia: ‘Blessed Santa Barbara, Your story is writ in the sky,’ from Federico García Lorca's play, La Casa de Bernarda Alba (1936); and Saint Didacus/Diego being known for solitude and healing.) Also, did someone once say something about affection for Saint Michael too?
