From Peter Adi Fonte in Kumbo
A heavy down
pour, accompanied by strong winds that swept through Kumbo town last Sunday for
close to three hours, has destroyed the roof of some houses as well as business
premises.
The speedy wind
was so destructive that it uprooted some big trees, signboards of offices and
business premises; either destroying them completely or twisting it to total deformity.
According to
some victims who gave their names as Austin and Florence, their business premises
situated at Dr. Lyonga Street in Tobin were seriously damaged by the wind.
Items like
bags of rice and ‘garri’ were exposed to the rains as the owners had to look
for other enclosures to pack their commodities. Through leakages on the roofs of some business
ventures, exercise books on sale were soaked as was the case with one computer
documentation centre situated at Sakah Street in Tobin.
At Bajing quarter
in Tobin, the embankment of a neighbour to the chief of service of
administration and finance in the divisional delegation of secondary education
Bui, Maishu Lionel Malung, collapsed as a result of the down pour, completely destroying
the roofs the neighbouring toilet.
Some
plantain stems and other economic plants that refused to obey the dictates of
the wind were brought down.
Offices and
business premises were obliged to renew their sign boards as a result of the
strong winds. So far, the degree of damage caused on property has not yet been
estimated.
