Brescia, is a town in Italy, which was under the rule of the Republic of Venece, in the early 18th century. It was a close ally of the Vatican state and very catholic.
When it was found out that lightning was the result of electric discharges and lightning rods were developed - the catholic church and it`s loyal allies neglegted that knowlege as "a satanic way of preventing gods will" and forbid the instalment of lightning rods.
As it happens, these were turbulent times in Italy (revolutionary Ideas for a united Italian Republic came to Italy over France) and gunpowder was stocked in churches.
It so happend that lightning struck the church tower of the castle in Brescia, blew up the gunpowder and killed 3000 people.
The catholic church then thought it`s views on lightning and lightningrods over.
Religious institutions never learn through knowlege, only through the hard way.
It will take that Pat Robertson guy to be blown skyhigh to notice that a tornado isn`t of "devine" origin.
