She's completely misinterpreting the message. Like, so bad it makes me sick.
Whether God was in the earthquake or not is irrelevant, to us anyway. We must assume that, unless God explicitly states that this is retribution for some sin, that this is just the natural way of things. Humans build their houses on fault lines. Disaster is bound to happen eventually.
The Bible says to pray for your enemies, to love everyone, and forgive an infinite number of times. It also says to grieve with those who are grieving, and to comfort them. Her prayers, while probably...hopefully...well intended, were not answered by that earthquake, I'm almost certain of that. And regardless of the fact that we reap what we sow, it's always important that we treat everyone suffering with respect and love, as shown in Job. Job was upright and a righteous man, but he suffered greatly because of a bet Satan made with God, losing his children, his money, his home, and his health. His so called "friends" came and made fun of him and pretty much said he was an evil person and deserved his punishment. God rebuked them later in the book and told them that they should have grieved with Job and helped him, not tell him how wrong he was, because they didn't know the situation.
She's like Job's friends. She should be helping, or, at the very least, she should shut up.
