COUVA and surrounding areas appear to have been spared the worst of the bad weather on June 12.

There were reports of flash flooding and street flooding in Claxton Bay, Couva, and parts of Freeport.

However, the chairman of the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation (CTTRC), Ryan Rampersad, confirmed earlier in the morning that emergency transportation efforts had been mobilised to assist students stranded by severe flooding in Talparo, which includes communities such as San Rafael, Mundo Nuevo and Brazil.
