Bermuda is a island 21 by 1 mile. Me thinks it be a water spout. Like a tornasdo but forms over the ocean/sea/body of water.
We do have them in Puerto Rico. They can be nasty.

Thank you for contributing to the idea that all God ever does is punish man for the things they do wrong. You definitely aren’t helping to guide people to God.

It’s good to know that no one was hurt or died as a result of the weather we’ve been having. Bermuda has been spared/got lucky again.

This post from Wake Up is the most nonsensical I have read in a long time. Of course Bermuda is not excluded from disasters, and neither is anywhere else in the world. Disasters have occurred since the beginning of time – billions of years ago – and will continue to do so. To suggest that God had anything to do with dumping a few concrete blocks on a parked car because of children walking around in Halloween costume and inviting evil spirits is the height of religous superstition. It is also totally demeaning of God.

Hurricane Emily was full of them.
In the late fall of 1978 (or 1979 ?) a freak system off of the Western end of the island spawned a dozen or so that inflicted worse than hurricane damage to the area between Coral Acres/SAL Southampton all the way down to Camp Hill in Warwick.

Roofs were ripped off every other house and many boats were flipped at their moorings in Jew’s Bay. It looked like a total war zone.

The insurance companies sell ‘full coverage’ to the unsuspecting making them believe that they’re fully covered.
They’re only covered for ‘road related’ accidents/fire/theft.
You have to request , and pay more, for windstorm ,aka ‘acts of god’. Not many people are actually aware of this but it is a seperate clause and available. Albeit at an additional cost. You just have to know.

If doing bad things ‘called out evil spirits’ we’d be seeing all kinds of fire and brimstone stuff happening on a daily basis. All these shooting murderers we have walking around would have been struck down by lightning along time ago but do we see that? No. So why would having a zombie walk for Halloween cause this to happen? Give me a break.

This is something called a ‘coincidence’…look it up.

I feel so sad that ppl cannot see beyond the natural eye. WAKE UP! Bermuda is not excluded from disasters. But God will save us for one or more that is in right standing with him like he did with Lot and his family when he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of the wickedness of the ppl. Bermuda and the world have lost their purpose, their love and unity. Its time to seek first the Kingdom and its righteousness so all things can be added unto us! U may think this comment is irrelevant; however discussing God’s original intent at any moment is never irrelevant. There are two sources for everything we think, God and Satan. If your not living for God by default u serve satan. God is in control and he will do anything he needs to do to get the attention of his ppl just as parents would do for their children. God never punishes us but only disciplines us in hopes that we will not be conformed by this world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds. If you really knew God some of the garbage would not come out of your mouth because u would know that life and death is in the power of the tongue. I speak life into this country! If your living for God than by default your living life to the fullest!

Do you know the history behind Halloween? Do some research it’s quite interesting, but the Celts in Europe wanted to contact dead spirits each year. Druids would go door to door asking for food and would trick or curse people who didn’t oblige. The evil spirits were thought to play tricks on people when they returned, so it’s not too far fetched to think that something evil was invited into Somerset. Just because you have candy and happy faces doesn’t mean it has a darker beginning.

God dropped roof tiles or block on a parked car in Somerset because kids are walking around in Haloween costumes all over the Island. If that’s the case then God is some kind of meanspirited. What if the poor guy who owns the car doesn’t have any kids and has never dressed up at Halloween in his entire life? What if he’s a Muslim and doesn’t believe in Haloween?

This kind of “evil spirits” superstitious thinking perpuates the ridiculous belief that earthquakes are caused by God’s wrath rather than by living along seismic fault lines; that psunamis are caused by God deciding to punish folks who live along shore lines (never those who live inland) for their evil ways rather than because of a major underwater earthquake; that hurricanes strike cities that live in sin (New Orleans being an often quoted example!) rather than because they are located in areas that happen to have been in hurricanes belts long before man arrived on the face of the earth; and maybe that God crashes aeroplanes when he does a quick count and realizes that too many people on the plane have sinned during that week!

My condolences to anyone in Somerset who suffered any loss or damage caused by this freak tornado, but please do not for one moment believe that it happened to you because you were a sinner or you believe in evil spirits. In the words of Joe Biden, “That’s just malarky”!
