Residents and traders in Isiolo's Soko Mjinga area endured a Good Friday night to forget, after a heavy downpour caused flooding that destroyed property worth millions of shillings and displaced hundreds from their homes.
By Saturday morning, residents were seen clearing mud and water from their businesses and homes in an attempt to salvage what remained.
The area manager, Stephen Mwiti, said more than 200 families had been affected by the flash floods.
Peter Kivuva, a local businessman, recalled witnessing a child trapped by the fast-moving waters. "No one could help because of the risk involved," he said.
