Of course the world behaves according to natural law. But exactly when, say, a treelimb breaks in a storm, is random, or so I think. Most of the weeds in my yard are there because the wind or a bird (both of which arguably behave randomly) brought it's seed there. The closer you look, the more randomness you will see.

Right, omnipotent basically means "able to do anything". This includes any specific thing at any specific time. If "randomness" is omnipotent, it would need volition of some sort in order to bring about act p at time t. Randomness has no volition. That's the difference between the traditional conception of God and yours.
Your tree branch doesn't fall in your yard at a "random" time, it's falling is brought about by a very very long ca
usal chain.
