This power, God if you will is pure love. Though this does not mean an intervention God. Terrible things happen, man made or otherwise. God will not cherry pick the righteous. The Godhead is our source and our destiny. We cannot comprehend this source our brains are not developed enough. So don't seek for a reason for natural events, you will chase yourself silly. There is more to this life than can be imagined. As on your passing, you will discover.

One theological answer was /is: He was unable to prevent it
You could have a completely pre-determined world. Muslims do. When 1000 ,men were crushed to death during one Hajj, the King of Saud went on telly and said they would have died at that instant somewhere else ...
If you allow a less pre-determined world - you can fit in free will - yippee ! but you then buy into difficulties about god's view of the future. Thomas Aquinas would say he was/is aware of it but cant control it. - or wont control it
Pain. premature death of children, suffering, starvation are in the same category ( discussed for thousands of years )

whirlyhurly //Why blame God, it was a force of nature, an earthquake//
Isn't your god supposed to have made everything, including Nature? God gets the credit for all things beautiful, so why not the bad things.
The most absurd thing I've heard is when a baby is born, it is a gift from god. If that infant dies, then it is god's decision and we are not supposed to understand the reason for this callous act.
