A bus stuck in flood waters in Layou<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Parliamentary Representative for the Layou Kelver Darroux is reporting that his community has been severely devastated by flooding and landslides associated with heavy rainfall caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Ophelia<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I speak, the situation is very terrible. I am now parked in the area of the old Hillsborough gas station and the water there is high. In fact there are some young men from Layou who are now walking through and the water is almost covering their head,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He is also cautioning persons not to traverse the area which has been deemed \u201cvery dangerous\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe village of St. Joseph is also flooded as well and it\u2019s posing some serious problems there. I want to ask persons to seek alternative routes or head back home. A lot of water is falling from the Tarreau cliff so persons shouldn\u2019t traverse there. The Clack Hall area is also flooded,” he said.<\/p>\n

He also confirmed that a bus transporting students from Belles is stuck in the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe students are safe but there are a number of persons trying to make their way through the water. I don\u2019t think they should be doing that because you never know what\u2019s in the water,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parliamentary Representative for the Layou Kelver Darroux is reporting that his community has been severely devastated by flooding and landslides associated with heavy rainfall caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Ophelia \u201cAs I speak, the situation is very terrible….","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":44959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-accidents-tragedy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nKelver Darroux says situation in Layou is 'terrible' -
