History: Providence?

 Japan and Britain — Saved By the Weather:

Interestingly, the island nations of Japan and Britain had seemingly opposite, but eerily similar, experiences when it came to being almost conquered by overwhelmingly powerful invading forces. Though neither was conquered, it took two divinely timed typhoons to save Japan from the Khans, while it took heavily overcast skies and calm seas divinely timed to save all of Britain’s troops from destruction by the Luftwaffe at Dunkirk. [Thor is the Hierarch of the Element of air. Raijin (雷神) is the Japanese god of storms.]

“When Providence Waved the British Goodbye”

During the War of 1812 while British troops were busy burning public buildings in our nation’s capitol, a severe storm and tornado freakishly appeared and put out many of the fires and gave them a good scare. They soon departed.

The Yorktown — Saved By A Farm Boy:

At the start of WWII, the aircraft carrier, the Yorktown, was to play a pivotal role in the battles of both the Coral Sea and Midway. Interestingly, the Japanese thought that they had sunk her on each occasion. Normally, they would’ve been right due to the severity of the fires inflicted, but Yorktown’s fire suppression crews were able to bring what usually would’ve been ‘fatal fires’ under control — enabled by the fact that the tinkerings of a Midwest ‘farm boy’ onboard with their rebreathers doubled the length of time that they could be used to fight fires.
