Freak storm ‘moves’ house at Bath

Nayo Sukdeo in front of her damaged house.
Heavy winds, the result of a sudden and short storm around 9 am today lifted a house off the ground and deposited it almost in a neighbour’s yard, in addition to causing other damage at Bath Housing Scheme, West Coast Berbice.

Sukdeo Sugrim said he saw the house next door, which belongs to Nayo Sukdeo, “lift off the ground” and start “floating” towards his house.
Before the house dropped close to his fence a section broke off and landed in his yard. It also damaged his fence.

He said his seven-year-old daughter started to scream and he too became confused and held onto one of his house’s posts. But “everything finished within seconds… me couldn’t believe it. Ah never experience something like that,” he said.
