| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, October 11, 2024. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.7 | Well, Hurricane Milton crossed the entire peninsula of Florida and it did leave a lot of devastation |
| 0:19.1 | in its wake. |
| 0:20.1 | But the big story is, and this is very strange, it tells us a lot about human nature. |
| 0:25.1 | The big story is it was not as devastating as some thought it might be. |
| 0:29.5 | Now that's good news, right? |
| 0:30.5 | Well, let's just state, that is very good news. It is very good news that the |
| 0:34.9 | death and devastation was far more limited than had been forecast. But we also |

| 1:15.4 | it primarily affected Tampa were blowing the water out rather than in. |
| 1:18.6 | Now you look at that and you say well you know they were able to follow this storm. Why couldn't they get that more accurately |
| 1:25.2 | forecast? Why didn't they have a more accurate understanding of where it was going to go? Why did they |
| 1:30.0 | offer all these dire scenarios about Tampa. |
| 1:33.0 | Well, it is because it simply is not yet |
| 1:36.4 | within human ability to pinpoint exactly what these terms are |
| 1:40.0 | going to do. |
| 1:40.5 | And I want to back off for a moment |
