Heavy winds on Friday night peeled off roofing sheets, smashed fences and downed utility poles in two Region Five communities leaving the owners of 18 houses counting their losses.
Rain poured into homes through the breached roofs, damaging appliances and other household items.
Stabroek News was told that following heavy showers around 10 pm, a strong gust of wind blasted through Plantation Experiment and Plantation Hope, West Coast Berbice.
