Hours after the Caroni River burst its banks after an unexpected downpour of rain across the country, hundreds of residents in Caroni remain marooned in their homes as multiple streets are still flooded with waist-deep water.
Our camera crew is currently at Caroni Old Road, Ghandi, Walker, Bridge and Persad Streets which remain impassable at the moment.
A crew from the Office of Disaster and Preparedness and Management (ODPM) was also seen assessing flooded streets in the area.
