Joe Zuniga's stunning image reveals rain curtains parting on Florida roadway; motorists 'looked almost like something spiritual coming through the storm'

As stormy skies cleared over Florida earlier this week, Joe Zuniga experienced an extraordinary moment he described as spiritual, and unforgettable.

The parting of the storm.

Even though I do believe that God has power over the air and storms can be thawed ...I do not see that this image from Florida is of the divine power of God , but just a part of the cloud which is not releasing any rain .....Nice try

The writer Anne Lamott said there are three types of prayers: "Thanks", "Help", "Wow". I think this falls under the third one. Nature is pretty amazing.

Hello all.

It is a nifty image, but let us not ignore the fact that the linked article goes on to say:

Quote:
While it might have been, for the musician, a spiritual experience, meteorologists are familiar with the phenomenon.

The Weather Channel reports that it was simply the result of two rain curtains that “just happened to have their edges lined up with the shoulders of I-75, and Zuniga was in the right place at the right time to capture it.”
Thanks.

Of course it is a natural phenomenon, but that doesn't mean people can't find spiritual meaning in nature!

Hello Mightyqueen801.

I wouldn't argue with that at all. I have had that sensation myself.

I just wanted to point out (for anyone who did not read the article) that it is in fact a natural phenomenon. My post was not directed toward you or anyone in particular.

Thanks.

Well duh.

Anyway, great image that looks like it might have inspired a few people. God's best instrument to get our attention can sometimes be nature itself.

Hello daylux.

Thanks for the helpful commentary. Obviously you have more faith in the existence of common sense than I. I have seen folks jump to some pretty hasty conclusions, especially around here (by which I mean the C-D forums).

Thanks.

The proof is finally here - it it obvious that YHWH exists and that he cares about Floridian motorists. I mean what better way to spend your time given all the problems in the world that to play in the rain for a few people on a Florida HWY.
