Originally predicted as a Category 5 storm, the storm has weakened to a Category 1, but it’s still leaving a wake of destruction caused by high winds, torrential rains and fallen trees, leaving more than 5.7 million people without power, reports CNN. In the Caribbean islands, Irma has caused at least 26 deaths.
Many artists in the music community shared their thoughts and prayers with those in Florida, including Katy Perry, John Mayer, Common and Barbra Streisand. Below are a few of the musicians wishing for the safety of all those in Florida.
Sending strength & love to so many people all over the world who are going through disastrous times right now, I pray rainbows come soon 😔
