When tragedy strikes, a flood, a plane crash, do you blame the Devil? or credit God? or is it just an unfortunate coincidence?

things that happen like that are no ones fault.
if you believe the bible then you know that god is not going to cause a plane to crash or a train to wreck. satan can only influence. he doesn't do things directly.

Even though I don't believe there is a Devil I would like to have a Devil to blame. If it a plane crash some human is likely to be blamed unless it was caught in a storm. Even then it can be blamed on pilot error for getting into the storm in the first place. Some damage from natural disasters from storms can be blamed on man too. Much of the damage from Catrina can be blamed on man. God bless kisses Betty.

Floods, Hurricanes, Tornados, Tsunamis I have several ideas about. Sometimes it can be nature striking back at the humans that are destroying the enviroment, and they can also be nature's way of keeping our numbers down. As far as plane crashes, car wrecks, and stuff like that, those are either Karma or Fate related. Sure I believe in a divine spirit and a strong spiritual force behind nature, and I'm sure it sometimes has a helping hand in certain tragedies, but sometimes we have to leave it to karma or fate.

When a tragedy strikes I ask God to handle all the emotions. I really do not bring the Devil into the problem, and God I innately feel is always there to comfort and protect me. I ask for understanding in my grief and fear.

Neither. It is a karmic experience, a system of balancing events, that people choose to experience for the greater good. In other words they say in their script that they will experience something, sickness, famine, air tragedy and so on. Others choose to be a part of it as experiencing with them, surviving it, being the people left behind to experience the repercussions or being someone who gives aid further down the line. It's something we all decide to share in. Not retribution and not something by evil pawns.

God word (laws of physics) writes the
genetic code for creation up to the point
where life emerges from water.
After that, each species learns through trial
and error.
When we succeed, that's triumph.
When we fail, that's tragedy

I believe God has infinite wisdom...i personally believe that he knows what will happen before it happens...some things are devised from people's pure evilness (like 9/11 and oklahoma bombings).I think natural disasters are just that...sure god knows that they will occur but he is all-knowing and he does not need to explain himself or his will....Humans (just like God) have our own will....we determine what actions we want to choose and what we want to refrain from....I don't blame the devil because god knows and has the ability to stop even the devil's plan
I don't know if that's the answer you are looking for but that's just what i believe!!!

Everything is under the hands of God, internally. God put the devil on this earth; and therefor this is also God's work.

Either way you look at it, it God's fault; if people can say he created everything, then he also created good and bad and God is the fault of our existence therefore God is the blame for all good and bad, as for as we know God answers to no one, therefore God is free to do as he pleases with us and can justify it all because God is God's master.

1 john 5:19- And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. So, to answer ur question only God people are protected against satan.
