Something didn't come from nothing, there is a God who created the universe. I suppose your point is more whether God intervenes now and again. He might just be a watchmaker who set things in motion and who walked away, and things go as they do without a divine hand.
That said, I'm of the opinion that God intervenes now and again, and moreover that suffering is purposeful to draw us closer to him. But that's just theology not objective facts.
Your point is not the point you think your point is, which is why I didn't answer the question as you would have liked me to answer it. Mercy and justice are two virtues that are in conflict with each other.
Waiting, sure, but no man knows the hour. So you go about your business as you need to, knowing that your death is inevitable and your particular judgement is coming up. The universal judgement of all mankind, nobody knows when that is.
Some theories say it was destroying specific genetic lines. And, that was the mercy. Nathaniel J. Gilliis is a demonologist that has very interesting research on it. It's the theory that aliens, are demons, are faeries. And, it's really good if you like that topic ( which I do!)

God has destroyed civilizations before, both by his own hand, and by letting other nations act on his behalf. And the dinosaurs never saw it coming.
