Ravi: I pray to God to protect residents of Florida, USA from Hurricane Irma. I also pray to God to give peace to the souls that lost their lives in the Caribbean islands and Cuba (and elsewhere if I missed out some places) due to Irma, and give strength and courage to their friends and relatives to bear the loss. All the best to the people of these places impacted (and that are expected to be impacted) by Hurricane Irma to rebuild their lives and get back to normalcy.
