Could it be God's Wrath?

With all of this destruction and fear it makes me wonder if the prophesies in the book of Revelation are coming into play. Please share your thoughts on this...

No, I don't think we're going to see people floating naked up into the sky anytime soon. Remember Galveston 1900? They said the same thing then. In fact, there's always somebody predicting the end of the world. So far, they've been consistently wrong for thousands of years. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
However, we could be seeing some radical changes. For example, we're so used to having a better than average chance against illness in our lifetimes. But what if that bird flu really does become a pandemic? What if it does wipe out half the population? That alone would spell the end of the world as most of us know it. But it wouldn't be anything close to an unprecidented event. Remember Spanish flu? Remember the Black Plague? Small pox?
I do wonder whether or not the weather is seriously influenced by human activity. I'm talking about the inadvertant effects of polution and urban sprawl as well as intentional monkey wrenching efforts like HAARP. But I take a certain comfort in observing that this would be a self eliminating problem.
Time is running out. The Indians' botanical knowledge is disappearing even faster than the plants themselves.

Remember when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for not being perverted enough?

I wonder if nature does population corrections?
Humans have not done too good regulating population growth.
