Will Robertson interpret Isaac?

Pat Robertson stated in the past that Hurricane Katrina struck News Orleans because of the lasciviousness of the people living there. He also stated that the earthquake struck Haiti because of the immorality of the people living there. Now the GOP is having its convention in Tampa and Hurricane Isaac is bearing down on the party. What will he say about that? Two bits says he will say nothing. Am I wrong?
