I was born and raised in Texas so I’ve seen it. Millions of people today are praying that Dorian turn away from land, and treating those people with mockery or condescension because they believe it could help is part of how the overly secularized Left has lost lots of voters.

I was with you until you used the term "overly secularized left." I'm a spiritual person and I don't believe in mocking others, but the left chooses not to mix church and state. This protects both church AND state. We also can't replace policy with prayer.
