Residents of Bombolulu estate were trapped in their houses following heavy rains that have been impounding the Coast since Monday. This was after dirty storm waters flooded their houses, destroying property worth millions of shillings. "By the time I got to Bombolulu, I could not even access my house since the road had been marooned by dirty water." The efforts were coordinated by businessman Charles Karigithu who helped county officials to access the site for the evacuation. We had to swim in the dirty water to access the kitchen," Muiru said.
