I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Carl, I hope you are using the term "awesome" in the sense of "awe-inspiring" at the destruction and that you are not taking joy in the discomfort and financial loss of your fellow Jews...your choice of words is easy to read in a very negative light.
In China they would hang the idiot that made such a project...
Every Beduin knows that in places where it rains little when it comes down it comes down all together and dry rivers become full streams which NEED where to go otherwise they cause disaster... So, when the MAIN freeway in Tel Aviv is totally flooded, and both car and railway traffic are stopped, some IDIOT should pay. It's not fate, it's incompetence and CORRUPTION! God doesn't flood a city, God makes the rain come down, and idiots do bad canalizations and waterworks!
Yet, in Israel, some friend of a friend in the "brangia" gets the contract, makes a fortune on the project and is NEVER held accountable... Like the guy who was supposed to finish certain street works in Jerusalem (Keren HaYesod-King George) in 2003 and finished in 2007...with most of the time ONE GUY working in the whole area!!! Or the guys who did the light-rail project...
