PHOTO:STANDARDThe death toll from heavy rains has increased by three as flooding wreaked havoc in Kilifi and Mombasa, forcing the temporary suspension of ferry services. The flooding was worsened by poor drainage in Mombasa, with County Commissioner Evans Achoki saying hundreds of families had been displaced. "Heavy rains that pounded Mombasa last night (Monday) led to sudden change in water currents, leading to problems when ferries attempted to dock on either side of the channel," said Mr Gowa. WALL COLLAPSED"We lost a man and his daughter in Mikindani last night after a wall collapsed on their house. He got soaked in the rain and was heading home when he collapsed and died," Mr Karisa told The Standard.
