Hello Sexytamara,

I would try to explain you "act of God":

It is a natural and unavoidable catastrophe that interrupts the expected course of events.

Some examples of an "act of God" are: an earthquake, a vulcanic eruption, a hurricane and so on.

I hope that this could help you :)


Kind regards,
Dany :D
