A cone-shaped wind was seen in Region Five during a ferocious storm that tore through a 1.2-mile stretch, causing damage to over 20 properties and leaving residents scrambling for shelter.
The Civil Defence Commission (CDC) yesterday said that residents affected by Friday’s freak storm at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice will be receiving replacement roofing sheets today and other forms of assistance in the coming days. Region Five has named the specific communities affected as Plantation Experiment and Plantation Hope.
