THE RAVAGING RAINSTORM

Many residents of Ojokoro woke up on Saturday last week without having a premonition of the ravaging rainstorm which swept across the whole locality, It is a fact that they had been praying for rain but they did not expect a rainstorm.

On the day of the incident, the afternoon was sunny and nobody knew that the sky could close its eyes so suddenly to give way to heavy clouds. The dark clouds covered the whole sky within few minutes. This was followed by a heavy wind which blew like a cyclone in a hot arid land. Residents rushed into their houses and in a hot afternoon, people felt the darkness to the extent that they thought it was night. The wind was followed by heavy rain which lasted for several hours.

The damage caused by the rainstorm was colossal. Many houses got their roofs blown off, electric poles were uprooted, many other houses collapsed while majority of the houses were flooded. Those who could pack their property to safe places did so,while those who were not at home when the rain started met their belongings floating on the water and their houses inaccessible. There was a case of a young man who lost his life while holding on to a door near the electric metre of his house, in an attempt to put the metre off. In fact, properties worth millions of naira were lost in the rainstorm.

Many people also lost their lives while many were rendered homeless. The locality is enveloped in sadness as a result of the devastating rainstorm. People are frightened and they feel insecure at the rumble of the sky or at the sight of the gathering clouds. In fact, they do not pray for the re-occurrence of such a rainstorm.
