San Rafael, Brazil, Tal­paro, Mun­do Nue­vo, Las Lo­mas, and parts of Char­lieville re­main wa­ter­logged yes­ter­day, with homes and roads sub­merged and res­i­dents strand­ed.

Cou­va/Tabaquite/Tal­paro Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion chair­man Ryan Ram­per­sad con­firmed that flood­wa­ters rose rapid­ly by Wednes­day night and re­mained high in­to yes­ter­day morn­ing, par­tic­u­lar­ly in the north­ern parts of the re­gion.

“De­spite a low tide around 10 pm, wa­ter lev­els in San Rafael and sur­round­ing ar­eas didn’t re­cede. Roads be­came im­pass­able, and thou­sands of fam­i­lies were af­fect­ed,” he said.
