"allowing" things to occur is not the same as "causing" them to occur.
To me it's the same thing. IF he had the power to save people, rather than wait till shit happen and then sent all that helicopters or red cross to rescue people. It's like, WTF God? WTF? He already made a decision in advance who will survive and who will die.
One thing I always learn about Christianity is that, although he claims to give "free will", BUT let's face it. He does choose when to interfere and when not to interfere. When a miracle happens, like some miracle some person who faced extreme situation in this disaster should have died, but somewhat survived. People say it's because of God's doing. THAT IS interfering. So end of the day, he has full control on everything that happens. He save those who he wanted to continue living.
The complication in believing in a creator is, that he does whatever he wants, how he wants it. But I don't have to agree with his decision making. In Katrina and in Texas, his decision was, let them suffer first. I will send "rescue teams in later" to save those who survive.
Imagine if you were a creator of a product and it contains defects, aka, natural disasters, in normal human understanding, you would be liable for that "defect". But if you were all powerful and nobody can really do anything to you. It's like, whatever. Do whatever! No consequences, except those who suffered from it.
End of the day, if men were made in God's image. And men are fallible. Clearly, God don't make perfect decisions all the time too. Except, he is the most powerful being in the Universe. Thus, whoever has the most power calls the shot.
