How can a newscaster ask someone if they "thank the Lord" in the midst of the destruction that hit Moore, OK?

What did Wolf Blitzer mean when he asked the Tornado survivor in Moore, Oklahoma, “Do you thank the Lord…?” for destroying everything she and her neighbors owned, killing numerous neighbors including 10 children, but leaving her alive? Does he mean this Lord of his thought she was somehow more worth saving than those that died? Does it mean his Lord is responsible for everything good that happens, but either incapable of, or uninterested in, preventing horrible natural disasters? How can someone as bright as Wolf Blitzer fail to see the hypocrisy and poor judgement of asking such a question? I loved the warmly open and forgiving response she gave. In my eyes, she’s in there with all the people who rushed in to rescue those trapped alive beneath the rubble as one of the heros of the tragedy.
