Today marks the 50th anniversary of Hurricane Flora, one of the deadliest hurricanes recorded in the Atlantic history. This hurricane virtually destroyed Tobago in 1963.
According to the Area Representative of Canaan/Bon Accord, Rolly Quaccoo, parang activities in the district this year will be hampered due to the erection of a galvanize fence in the front of the Milford Court commercial area which began late last week.
Tobago experienced heavy rainfall for many hours on Thursday. At 5pm Communications Officer of the Tobago Emergency Management Agency Alex Browne said that TEMA received nine reports from persons affected by the rain. The first incident was the flooding of a residence in Hampden Lowlands.
It was indeed a sad day in the village of Canaan/ Bon Accord as yet another death occurred in the area. Police say they have ruled out foul play, but investigations are still ongoing.
