Strong winds blowing across Kilifi County have continued to cause damage for the third consecutive day.

In Mugandini village, Sabaki ward, Magarini constituency, an 80-year-old grandmother and her 14-year-old granddaughter narrowly escaped after the wind lifted the roof off their house, causing the structure to collapse while they were sleeping late at night.

According to Rodgers Ngala, a neighbor of the elderly woman, the grade 7 pupil saved her grandmother by pulling her out of the house after the roof was blown off by the wind.

In Dzitsoni, Kilifi South the strong winds brought down a tent that provides shade for boda boda riders.

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported from these incidents.

The situation follows a weather warning issued by the Kilifi County Meteorological Department earlier this week.
