Pictured Above: A home in Las Lomas without its roof following an isolated Thunderstorm on Wednesday. As a result of an isolated Thunderstorm associated with the passage of a Tropical Wave, seven (7) homes lost their roofs in Las Lomas due to gusty winds on Wednesday morning (8th September 2021). The isolated Thunderstorm moved Westward across Central and Northern Trinidad this morning, producing frequent lightning and ominous skies. A wind gust of 61 Km/h was reported at the Piarco International Airport at 8am, with visibility reduced to 1 Km. According to Councillor for Las Lomas/San Raphael, Balmati Gosyne, heavy rainfall soaked furniture and appliances across these seven (7) homes. The Disaster Management Unit of the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation is conducting assessments and will also be appealing to the National Commission for Self Help and The Ministry of Social Development to provide relief to affected residents in the quickest possible timeframe. A Tropical Wave also negatively impacted several areas of the country last week, with winds as high as 95 Km/h. The Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo area, which was mostly affected, recorded nearly 200 reports of adverse weather from citizens. There were 147 reports of roof damage, thirty-two (32) for fallen trees and at least ten (10) for fallen utility poles during that weather event. [Source: T&T Guardian]
