That is one of The Herald’s headlines on the day following the earthquake in Christchurch. This is what the writer says in the article: “The force of the quake is numbingly powerful, the noise frightening, and hundreds of people run for the doorways.” –
The New Zealand Herald, Wednesday, Febr. 23, 2011.
The same paper has also a cartoon saying:
“The Hand of Mother Nature.”
In a moving address, just hours after the earthquake, Prime Minister John Key said,
“While nature has taken much of you, it cannot take your survivor’s spirit.” –

This is one of the definitions of nature in The Collins Concise Dictionary: “the whole system of the existence, forces, and events of all physical life that are not controlled by man.”
MY QUESTION:
Who is controlling “the whole system of existence, forces, and events of all physical life that are not controlled by man”?
