Waramadong and Kamarang have become the most recent communities in Region Seven to be pummelled by strong winds and heavy rainfall, resulting in damage to several buildings in both villages.
According to reports reaching this newspaper, the rain in Waramadong began just after 1:00 pm yesterday, and lasted for at least 45 minutes.
Chris Elliman, a volunteer at the Desrey Fox Secondary School in Waramadong told Stabroek News that the rain came down so hard that students and teachers were confined to their classrooms until it was over, by which time, the mattresses and other items in their chalets were soaked by the water which had seeped through the windows during the downpour.
