Several areas in South Trinidad experienced flash flooding on Monday following heavy showers, leaving many people stranded and forcing residents to clean slush, mud and water from their properties.
In Union Hall, floodwaters rendered parts of the roadway impassable. This caused traffic delays, forced some drivers to abandon stalled vehicles, and left others seeking alternative routes.
In San Fernando, residents at Palmiste Bend, Coconut Drive, were marooned in their homes after the Cipero River overflowed its banks, pushing water onto the roadway and into their yards.
