What on earth is going on?
Here's the story that goes with the photograph, taken from the Huffington Post website:

Blaming Gays for the world's troubles simply doesn't cut it. Once again, if God is going around causing trouble--hurricanes and tornadoes, etc., then God needs to be charged either with criminal mischief (in this case) or with murder (in the earlier case of tornadoes--see previous post.)
What would have happened if the Republicans had to cancel their convention due to Hurricane Isaac? Would God have then been on the side of Democrats? Come on! This is bad theology and we all know it!!
God doesn't punish. Let's get the story straight. We are in hurricane season.
A man came to Shammai saying, "Teach me the whole Torah while standing on one foot." Shammai took a stick and hit the man with it. The man then went to Hillel, saying the same thing. Hillel said to the man, "Do not do unto your fellow what you would not have done unto you. That is the Torah. Now go and study." Shabbat 31a
