Rain is a blessing no doubt, but it can also wreck havoc, leading to loss of life and properties. Today, many people are homeless, businesses lost, life on hold - all because from one bad storm. Who do we blame? No one, I guess. That's nature taking its cause.
This takes us to the zapfic 240 story with the topic city.

Just one hour of downpour is enough to put my city on a standstill. Streets flood, traffic builds, and movement stalls. Then, power outage. Sometimes, market people get hit worst- stalls collapse, goods get soaked. Time and resources, lost.

Let us try to control the movement of water, even in kenya people loose their lives during rainy š§ season.
Yeah, it's our duty to keep our environment safe from flood by taking care of the drainage systems.

This is due to bad draining system, in Lagos it's bad drainage system as well as overpopulation in the major cities, especially if there are bad roads.
Good to see that you captured some good shots.
You're right. Poor drainage as a result of indiscriminate dumping of refuse is the major cause of flooding. Some people have no business living in the city because they stink - literally. š
Thanks so much.
This is a powerful and sobering zapfic entry. āļø Youāve perfectly captured how a single hour of nature's force can turn an entire city upside down. Itās heartbreaking to think about the market vendors losing their hard-earned goods to the flood. As you said, we canāt blame nature, but your story serves as a strong reminder of how fragile our urban life can be. Stay safe
Thank you.
Some market vendors no longer wish for rain because of what they go through whenever it showers.
Indeed. The fragility of the urban area is as a result of development. It's really unfortunate

Nature is unstoppable.
Exactly. No one can dictate the course of nature.

Recently Aba has been requipped with smooth and good roads, where again is this bad flood coming from?
Smooth and good roads do not stop flood. Only a good drainage system will, and you know how most of the gutters get blocked each time it rains.
