On May 3 and May 4, 2010, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) “hate group” praised the death and destruction of recent floods that have affected Tennessee, Mississippi, and Kentucky. The “Westboro Baptist Church” (WBC) is listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
On May 4, 2010, the Environmental News Service (ENS) reported that the death toll from the floods was now up to 29 people. ENS reported that: “Record-breaking flash floods across Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky have claimed the lives of at least 29 people since Friday. In Tennessee, 19 people have died in the severe storms, tornadoes and torrential rains that caused rapidly rising waters and flash flooding across the state. Numerous nursing homes, apartment complexes and residences were evacuated as flood waters moved in on them. Water rescues and helicopter extractions were performed as waters rushed over hundreds of roads through cities, towns and neighborhoods. Many residents have lost all of their possessions as homes were destroyed or sustained major damages.”

On May 3, 2010, the WBC “hate group” stated that “FLOODING STRAIGHT FROM GOD in Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky kills 22! Praise Him! GodSmack! It’s God’s wondrous work. WBC visited Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky MANY times; always evil entreated by you southern hypocrites… See the floating dumpster, house and water treatment plant under water! Next – YOUR FIERY DESTRUCTION!”
Then on May 4, 2010, the WBC “hate group” stated: “THANK GOD FOR 27 DEAD AS STORMS POUND SOUTHEAST! Nashville is home of unparalleled grand ole sin. The good ole home spun south has turned into a cesspool of twanging rebellion… GodSmack! … We sing and praise His power!”
