Natural Disasters Teach Fear of God - Worst Fires and Floods in 100 Years

Colorado had its worst three fires in history last year. California had their seven worst fires in history last year. Australia had their worst fires in a long time just last year. . . now the worst floods of the century. Does God send fires and floods? Or does man cause fires and floods by heating up the globe? Who's ultimately in control here? Humanists say man is in control. Christians say God is in control, but God isn't the "nice guy" that everybody wants him to be. Will these natural disasters teach our children to fear God?
