Can Sonny be sued?
A storm crashed through the Southeast and brought up to an inch of rain in parts of drought-stricken Georgia, but forecasters said the storm likely did little to ease the state’s historic drought.
The roof of a Baptist church in Tennessee’s Marion County was heavily damaged, said Jeremy Heidt of the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency.
City Hall across the street from the church suffered minor damage, Heidt said, and an ambulance business next to it had heavy damage. A house also collapsed, but the residents went to the hospital themselves.
“I couldn’t get the door open because the outside pressure and wind was so strong,” said Justin Lawhorne, manager of Wendy’s restaurant in Kimball.
County schools were closed Thursday due to the storm.
The rainfall came two days after Gov. Sonny Perdue led a prayer service on the steps of the state Capitol to beg the heavens for an end to the drought.

Some scoffed at praying for rain but it came didn’t it? I wonder if those whose homes or businesses were damaged can sue?
What do you think?
One response so far
Who’s scoffing? I (and the National Weather Service) predicted that it would rain after Sonny’s prayer.
Of course you do realize that the 1″ in North GA did virtually nothing to raise the water table, but that’s not important. The important fact is that Sonny prayed, and it rained (as predicted before Sonny’s prayer by the National Weather Service), therefore Sonny’s prayer was the cause of the rain. Therefore, the is a God and he does answer prayer. How can you argue with “logic”?
But not to worry - I’m also predicting many more miracles - I’m predicting it will rain many more times in Georgia, following Sonny’s prayer on Nov 14, before the estimated deadline for the water to run out. You can find a schedule for the miracles here.
That reminds me, does anyone remember the Andy Griffith Show episode when the gypsies come though town and “make it rain”? (Does anyone even remember the Andy Griffith Show?
)
