A Subtle warning I would say:
Here are some excerpts of yesterdays tornado from The Desiring God Blog:
The tornado happens on a Wednesday...during the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America's national convention in the Minneapolis Convention Center. The convention is using Central Lutheran across the street as its church. The church has set up tents around it’s building for this purpose. According to the ELCA’s printed convention schedule, at 2 PM on Wednesday, August 19, the 5th session of the convention was to begin. The main item of the session: “Consideration: Proposed Social Statement on Human Sexuality.” The issue is whether practicing homosexuality is a behavior that should disqualify a person from the pastoral ministry.
The eyewitness of the damage said:
This curious tornado touches down just south of downtown and follows 35W straight towards the city center. It crosses I94. It is now downtown.
The time: 2PM.
The first buildings on the downtown side of I94 are the Minneapolis Convention Center and Central Lutheran. The tornado severely damages the convention center roof, shreds the tents, breaks off the steeple of Central Lutheran, splits what’s left of the steeple in two...and then lifts.

In the full blog, he calls this "Providence" and goes on to give his interpritation using scripture. This is a pretty amazing story; a clear sign that God is in control.
There's nothing subtle about it, Pastor. When they rejected the sacrifice of Christ for sins (in order to sanction the sinning), God removed the cross from their church. It was only fitting that He do so.
