ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Electricity was slowing being restored to several parts of Dominica on Wednesday as authorities began the task of counting the cost of the damage caused by Tropical Storm Chantal 24 hours earlier. Public Works and Infrastructural Development Minister Rayburn Blackmore, speaking on the state-owned DBS radio Wednesday, said the authorities will be assessing the damage “and at the end of the day we should have a better report”. Blackmore said that some areas across the island were still experiencing difficulties as a result of the various landslides, fallen electricity poles and destruction to some homes.
