Residents of Laventille Road, Port of Spain, were left shaken but unharmed when the abandoned St Thomas Baptist Church collapsed during heavy rainfall on Tuesday morning.
Newsday visited the area and spoke with residents, who said they heard a rumbling just after 8 am.
Alicia Beguesse, who lives next to the church, told Newsday she was afraid, but was grateful no one was injured. I remembered hearing it this morning and I told myself, Lord, what is this now?
