During a press conference, which was held in partnership with the Barbados Association of Retired Persons in Christie’s Conference Room, Garrison, St Michael, Greaves recalled that the freak storm on June 17, which saw 46 290 lighting strikes in one night, impacted heavily on their system.

He also said the damage from Hurricane Elsa on July 2 was extensive. (TG)
