It's possible, but I still think the end deals with the idea of: is this Hashem punishing me for doing something wrong/against my morals or is it simply fate/a coincidence.

I ask this because I understand why Hashem would punish Larry with that phone call and what appears to be his eventual demise, but why is his son being punished w/ the possible death in the tornado? Because he was listening to his walkman during class?
