Let us pray for the people in these places, after earthquake and hurricanes bring devastation and loss.

Mexico

On Thursday 7 September, Mexico was hit by an earthquake described as the strongest in more than 80 years. Then, two days later, as the cleanup began, Hurricane Katia reaches landfall, the resulting rainfall creating a mudslide causing further chaos and death.

The Caribbean, Cuba and Florida USA

Hurricane Irma, graded as a 'Category five storm' then followed Hurricane Katia, leaving a path of destruction in the warm, sunny holiday destinations of The Caribbean Islands. Irma then unleashed her devastation on Cuba before moving to the US state of Florida on Sunday 10 September. Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful recorded in the Atlantic, was then downgraded to a 'Category one'.
