Unexpected Flooding at Dunga Beach in Kisumu
Traders at the Dunga Beach fish market reported to work as usual, only to find the market significantly flooded. While the flooding was not life threatening, it was an economic risk for the fish traders.
Dunga Beach is one of Lake Victoria’s popular beaches on the Kenyan side. Since Lake Victoria is a fresh-water lake, it serves as Kenya’s greatest and most reliable source of fish.
Cyclone Hidaya seems to have lost momentum.
In Tanzania, for example, the government had halted the ferry operations between Zanzibar Island and Dar-es-salaam.
In Kenya, the meteorological department has sent out a warning to everybody, to be weary of potential heavy rains along the coast. The weather experts underlined the riskiest days as Sunday, May 5th up to Tuesday, May 7th.
