Local Government Minister Khadijah Ameen and Minister in the Housing Ministry Phillip Alexander have met with residents following a weak tornado in the Westmoorings area earlier today.
The incident, which took place shortly around midday, left many homes devasted as high winds caused damages to several properties in the area.
Both ministers consoled affected residents and received updates from police, the Fire Service, and T&TEC about the extent of the damage.
Minister Ameen gave an update to local media describing the damage, and said the experience traumatized the families.
Minister Ameen said that a concerted response is underway with several regional corporations coming together to deal with the disaster.
