"Their Eyes Were Watching God"

Chapter 18 actually contains the title of the book within the chapter. In the chapter a big hurricane is coming and  not many people believe it will be that big of a storm and think it will just blow over. Tea Cake is among those who believe it will just blow over so he sees no reason for why he and Janie should leave their home. The night before the storm Tea Cake has a bunch of co-workers who work at the muck over and rolling dice in his backyard. As soon as the people over see that the weather is starting to get extremely bad they leave and return home. Janie and Tea Cake start talking and get on the subject that everything that has been happening due to God. While waiting for the the storm to come Janie says it's like "Their eyes were watching God", because they are waiting on the worst of God's wrath to come through. All the two could do was wait for what was coming to them since they hadn't decided to vacate their home.
