Why did Tom think the storm was intended for him in Chapter 22 of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?

In Chapter 22, Tom thinks the storm is intended for him
because he has a guilty conscience.

It is summer, and Tom
is at a bit of a loss as to what to do with himself. In addition, he is still troubled
over having secretly witnessed the murder of Dr. Robinson. Because he is attracted to
the "showy character" of the uniforms of the Cadets of Temperance, he decides to join
their ranks, promising to give up smoking, chewing tobacco, and profanity. Sadly, Tom
soon finds himself sorely tempted to do all these things, and is forced to give up his
membership before a mere forty-eight hours have
passed.

Tom's malaise deepens, and to make things worse, he
catches the measles. During the two weeks during which he is laid up, a "revival" comes
to town, and everyone - even his rapscallion friends - "[gets] religion." Even the
incorrigible Huck Finn quotes to him from Scripture, and Tom, still laboring under the
"dreadful secret" of the murder, and his recent dismal failure to live up to
expectations in the Cadets, feels as if "he alone of all the town [is] lost, forever and
forever."

Such is Tom's state of mind when the terrible
storm strikes. Consumed by guilt, he firmly believes that "he [has] taxed the
forbearance of the powers above to the extremity of endurance and that this [is] the
result." Tom sees the storm has been wrought to bring about his destruction, a just
punishment for his sins and perceived depravity (Chapter 22).
