I don't know how families with small children are surviving... She was also telling me how grocery stores don't have everything available that people need. There were restrictions on milk per family. People are actually fighting in the stroes and stores are closing early. She was in Victoria and people gave her a list of grocery to bring from there! Traffic lights are still not fixed and the traffic starts to gather up esp. in the evening time. May Allah ease the situation there and bring life to normal soon.

Leaving aside the problem I have with the use of work and God, I wish to question your equating of the cataclysmic event to God. This is because I'm skeptic about who is the cause of this event (no doubt that the Ahlus Sunnah ascribe all good to Allah SWT; as for evil,we don't ascribe that to Allah SWT. However, I don't wish to get into this). I'm inclining towards the view that Ike was not a natural hurricane. I have some serious questions to which I can't really find answers? 1- After Katrina, we saw massive coverage by the media regarding the damages, casualties, etc. However, the same isn't true for Ike. I wonder why the coverage is so little. Also why has the media been banned from covering the Galveston? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge0dxJfxsa8 2- Check out this military report: http://csat.au.af.mil/2025/volume3/vol3ch15.pdf 3- Good Hurricane Ike cover up.
