Britney Spears sent ‘thoughts and prayers’ to the people of Louisiana in the wake of Tropical Storm Ida’s devastation earlier this week.

The Sometimes singer, 39, wrote about the ‘horrific’ destruction on Instagram Thursday, sharing a highly-filtered video of her dancing and a caption about the power of God and ‘mother nature.’

Spears, who grew up  in Kentwood, Louisiana, began by saying that while her heart was with ‘so many people in this world at the moment… the news is horrific especially in the HEART LAND of Louisiana.’

‘God will DEFINITELY throw us some curve balls to set us straight to make sure we are AWAKENED !!!!’ she went on.

‘Go outside and pick up a PIECE OF HER and just LISTEN … but it’s nice to be able to look up and know FAMILY is nearby …’

Now five days after Hurricane Ida struck, the storm’s aftermath, and progress in recovering from it, are being felt unevenly across affected communities in Louisiana.

In New Orleans, power was restored to a small number of homes and businesses, city crews had some streets almost completely cleared of fallen trees and debris and a few corner stores reopened.

Aftermath: Outside New Orleans, neighborhoods remained flooded and residents were still reeling from damage to their homes and property. James Serigny and his shrimp boat are seen in Golden Meadow, Louisiana above

A revamped levee system protected the city from catastrophic flooding after Ida struck on Sunday with 150mph winds that tied it for the fifth-strongest hurricane to ever hit the mainland US.

Outside New Orleans, neighborhoods remained flooded and residents were still reeling from damage to their homes and property.

More than 1,200 people were walking through some of Ida’s hardest-hit communities to look for those needing help, according to the Louisiana Fire Marshal’s office.

President Joe Biden was scheduled to visit Louisiana on Friday to survey the damage, the White House said.
