Fiona has since been upgraded to a Category 4 storm, and has killed several people in the Caribbean Islands, CNN reports. The storm has led to flash flooding, mudslides, and an islandwide blackout on Puerto Rico. Most of the island remains without power, according to utility companies’ reports tracked by PowerOutage.us, and officials expect it could take several days to fully restore service.

More than 1,000 residents were rescued across Puerto Rico, The New York Times reports. Fiona struck the island just two days before the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm back in 2017. Hurricane Fiona has now also made landfall in the Dominican Republic.

Other artists who have expressed their love and solidarity on social media for those impacted by the storm include Luis Fonsi, Victor Manuelle, J Balvin, Feid, and Wisin, who shared an image of the devastation in his hometown Cayey.

Bad Bunny, who’s in the middle of his World’s Hottest Tour, also sent a message during his Sept. 18 concert. “From San Diego, I would like us to send vibes to everyone in Puerto Rico as now there is a hurricane passing through,” he said. “Those who are believers, your prayers.”
