No matter what religion or spirituality you practice you have to admit one thing the prophecies such as the ones in Revelation part of the Bible have and are coming true to some extent. If its you believe its just a coincidence then you will need prayer. My view on it is why take the chance on it. Today when the natural(nature) is going against people it must mean people are not living naturally anymore. You should want to get back to oneness with nature rather than arguing with it. The effects will be much less. Why are people waiting for the biggest disaster in order to change their thinking? These small earthquakes and hurricanes are nothing compared to what could happen.
