In a [political sense,] it is interesting how Hurricane Ike, smashing into Houston's Mission Control, coincidentally on the [13th] day of September, may of tipped the scales in Obama's favor, because it was immediately following this great storm that [AIG] failed, and had to be rescued by the taxpayers. 
Ike, the third most destructive hurricane to ever strike the United States can be traced to an westerly wave leaving [western Sudan] on August 19, which moved westward through Nigeria and Mali and reached the coastal country of Senegal on August 28. Moving into the Atlantic Ocean, the wave slowly intensified over subsequent days while moving generally towards the west-northwest. On September 1, the wave developed a sufficient amount of convection and was designated [Tropical Depression Nine.]
The fall of the largest insurance company in the world only three days later, led to [a storm] of its own and a panic in the world's financial markets. A panic that has yet to fully subside.
In the book of Job, the [whirlwind] carries God' voice.
