Larry Wessels (CANSWERSTV at https://www.youtube.com/user/CAnswersTV) discusses religious heretics Gloria & Kenneth Copeland who claim to have "control" over the weather including tornados. See our playlist called, " Dealing with Phony TV Preachers (TBN) & King James Onlyites" at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2CDA855486B09128 which has an entire 5 hour video series exposing these fake TV snake oil salesmen for what they really are.
Storms, floods, and earthquakes are indeed a part of the present world. We sometimes call them “natural disasters,” but they are not a surprise to God. Yes, God certainly can control the weather and send deadly storms.
Some have concluded that suffering occurs because it is beyond God's control. This is incorrect. God has indeed established certain laws and principles that govern nature, but he remains sovereign over these laws. Psalm 148:8 declares that storms “do his bidding.” Concerning Jonah, it was the Lord who "sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea" (Jonah 1:4 KJV). Old Testament writers did not hesitate to attribute the forces of nature to God: "thy waterspouts … thy waves … thy billows" (Psalm 42:7 KJV). Today, God's creation is too often depersonalized. He is in control, and has His reasons for all kinds of weather, both fair and stormy.
Scripture contains many examples of God controlling the weather and using it to direct people and nations… Genesis 6:5-9:19 (Earth destroyed by flood, people and animals killed) Exodus 9:23-29 (hail and fire from heaven on Egypt) Joshua 10:11 (hail on the Amorites, etc.) I Samuel 7:10 (thunder disperses the Philistines)
