DESPITE being inundated amid torrential isolated showers on the evening before Divali, affected residents in Rousillac were determined to clean up and celebrate the festival of lights on October 20.

The passage of a tropical wave over the weekend saw the country placed under a yellow-level adverse weather alert by the TT Meteorological Service. Over a dozen communities across Central Trinidad were flooded from the resulting showers, and Rousillac was one of the few places in the south west which was similarly affected.
