I tend to think so. I feel there is a reason for everything.
Perhaps the hurricanes have been solely for the purpose of focusing the nation on helping each other, and on our strength as a nation, and focusing away from the dissenters and the evil protestors, who, in my view, are evil in their intent.

Yes I think the US has a collective destiny and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

If you believe in divine intervention why would it be limited to the US?

No.

God is a [benevolent] spectator, not a puppeteer. Things may happen for a reason, but those reasons can be and are human caused.

No, but I am interested in knowing why you think the fate of the US specifically is depivinekt guided.

What makes you say this? Do you have any evidence for this? What would be the purpose in a god specifying a particular fate for a country? Will another country at a different time be guided? How would we tell?

You're right about there being a reason for everything.

And those reasons can be perfectly explained via science/logic/psychology/etc., not God.
