Heavy rains have hit most parts of the country,
All the rivers have broken their banks,
Dams are being opened to release the excess water,
But the City doesn't have enough water.
The rain has been raining heavily for the past two months,

Everything was dry and scarce,
The rains came in humongous amount,
Here we are somehow badly off than the drought days.
So why is the flooded city dry,

The catchments areas haven't been receiving much rains.

Very true. Early this year we suffered severe drought and longed for rains. And here it is but in huge amounts. Mother nature has many surprises.

I hope so too especially now that Nairobi is suffering water shortage due to low volumes in the dams it depends on.
