One resident told Kaieteur News that the storm started around 16:30h and several children sustained minor injuries while scampering for safety.
“A very strong wind came from all directions,” the resident recalled while adding that zinc roofs blew off and concrete walls were broken in the process.
The resident said that Sunday’s storm was the strongest experienced in the village.
Residents are calling on the authorities to provide assistance to rebuild the homes that accommodate the students who come from far-flung communities.
