Many more reports such as television antennae and satellite dishes were displaced by the wind, the street light beside the Traditional rulers’ (Baale) house fell on a house which wedged it from falling to the ground, electric poles were few meters above ground level with the high tension wires lingering, so many flooded houses and streets, people were seen scooping water from their houses and their many properties soaked with water.

This rain storm lasted for about one hour and forty minutes,

“This was no ordinary rain my brother, I was already prepared to go to church but I couldn’t because of the rain. I thought the world was about to end.” A man talking to Kirikiri news expressed as his house was not left out in the damage.

Great deals of damages have been recorded.
