I liked the God Hates Shrimp site responding by showing that Katrina looked like a giant shrimp coming into New Orleans showing what God was REALLY mad about.
I suppose it might be worth saying how often the deeply conservative Christian states (Florida is especially scary, IMO, people get struck by lightning there under clear skies!) and islands (some openly antigay) get hit with hurricanes on a regular basis but it's really not given that these people don't think with the part of the brain that deals with reason and can easily switch tracks (from "God is punishing you" to "Satan is attacking us for our godliness and/or God is testing our faith").
