I believe man was responsible for this, not God.
I disagree with your reasoning, but I will consent that it is debatable.
This on the other hand is an act of God.
At least 1,836 people lost their lives in Hurricane Katrina and in the subsequent floods.
and this is also an act of God
Omayra Sánchez was a 13-year old victim of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano which erupted on November 13, 1985 in Armero, Colombia, causing massive lahars which killed nearly 25,000. She was trapped for 3 days in water, concrete, and other debris before she died.
Omayra was trapped up to her neck in water, concrete, and other debris for three days before she succumbed to gangrene and hypothermia. During three nights of agony, Omayra seemed strong but was suffering. According to Cristina Echandia, a journalist who kept records of the events, Omayra sang and had normal conversations with the people who were trying to help her. The little girl was thirsty and scared. On the third night, Omayra began hallucinating, saying that she did not want to be late for school. At some point she asked the people to leave her so they could rest.
This is the type evidence that convinced me there was no God. For if there is an omnipotent God than truly the suffering is not needed.
