On Wednesday 14th October 2020, amid a heavy thunderstorm, a funnel cloud formed around Chase Village causing what persons described as a "mini tornado" that destroyed the roof of a home a Ragoonanan Trace. Fortunately, the family that occupied the home was able to escape to safety as the heavy rain poured in and continued to batter the home.
Other homes suffered minor damage from flying debris. After the phenomenon, the Couva/ Talparo/ Tabaquite Regional Corporation stepped in to provide immediate relief items for the family of 6 and the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services has offered disaster assistance funding to facilitate the necessary repairs to the home.
