A teenaged boy is now nursing injuries after the walls of his bedroom came crashing down on him during a violent storm in Aishalton, Region Nine on  Friday night.

Approximately six families have been displaced as the 30-minute storm completely destroyed their homes “within seconds”.

Speaking with the Sunday Stabroek yesterday, village Toshao Micheal Thomas, who visited the homes to assess the damage, stated that such a storm has never been experienced before. The tornado-like storm, he explained, began with a sudden lightning flash and moved through the village, picked up and flung things in its path.
