Residents of Hibiscus Scheme Blankenburg on the West Coast of Demerara woke up to flooded houses at 4am Saturday following a major over-topping at the sea defence in the community.
The over-topping was as a result of high tides. Police are at the scene to help residents vacate the area.
The News Room will provide more information in a subsequent report.
