The last line is my favorite.
DAPHNE, Ala. -- Worried about the safety of her family during a stormy Memorial Day trip to the beach, Clara Jean Brown stood in her kitchen and prayed for their safe return as a strong thunderstorm rumbled through Baldwin County, Alabama. But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured. She said 'Amen' and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive. Firefighters said its likely she was hit by a bolt of lightning that apparently struck outside and traveled into the house yesterday afternoon. She was found lying on the floor by her 14-year-old granddaughter. Fire officials think the lightning likely struck across the street from the couple's home and traveled into the house through a water line. The lightning continued into the couple's backyard and ripped open a small trench. A family member said he will no longer assume it is safe to be indoors during a lightning strike.

See, to me, the lesson is that it is *not* safe to pray. This is clearly a case of some god -- probably Thor, on accounts of the thunder & lightening -- showing his or her displeasure at a mortal earthling nagging said god with trivial fears and requests.
Must be the same reason those studies recently showed that when you pray for someone's health to improve, they actually get a lot sicker and DIE.
Like, this shit is *not* random. ... When you pray, you're not safe ANYWHERE. Get a clue, people!
Precisely.
