T&TEC crews are working to restore electricity to customers in parts of Santa Cruz after a large tree was uprooted during heavy rainfall on Thursday, damaging two utility poles.
The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission said the tree was uprooted at about 12:55 p.m. along Saddle Road, Santa Cruz, in the vicinity of the School for the Blind.
T&TEC said torrential rainfall had saturated the soil, resulting in the tree being uprooted and falling onto the electricity infrastructure.
