Los Angeles was hit with some wicked rain and flooding from Hurricane Hilary over the past week, and as of Sunday, arial footage posted online shows the Dodger Stadium parking lot looking more like a lake than anything else, with the stadium itself looking like a medieval fortress surrounded by a moat.

Upon seeing the photo on X, Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec couldn’t help but see that there was an extra layer of meaning to it all. They’re called “Acts of God,” after all.
“God will not be mocked,” Posobiec posted.

Hurricane Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit California in 84 years. A video depicted the historic stadium submerged, and many dubbed the situation a “Biblical flood.”
Rising waters trapped thousands and caused mudslides, downed power lines, and destroyed bridges. The heavily-polluted L.A. River was filled, transporting large amounts of trash – and cars – to the ocean. As a result, L.A. schools were closed. In anticipation, the Dodgers and San Diego Padres moved their Sunday games to Saturday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers though will probably be saying an extra prayer after witnessing all of this destruction. They’ve attempted to fix their reputation by recently hosting a Faith and Family Night following an LGBTQ Pride Night that included The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group known for satirizing religious imagery, particularly Catholic nuns.

The inclusion of this group led to serious controversy, with star pitcher Clayton Kershaw, a devout Christian, voicing his disagreement with the group’s involvement.
Critics viewed Faith and Family Night as the Dodgers’ attempt to make amends for the divisive Pride Night on June 16. The event was supported by several Christian denominations and featured Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, who also threw the ceremonial first pitch.
