The electrical fluctuations and subsequent wet walls were a great combination for a fire. The house was ablaze in the middle of the night and ex-president Rawling's wife and daughter escaped with no injury. The house was destroyed, along with all their personal possessions.

The rains gave coolness to some and at the same time brought sorrow to others. I wonder if just the rain can be blamed; after all, the electrical fluctuations had a large part to play in the burning of the house.
Well It's a very interesting post . I like it very much.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a tragedy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that the thunder & ligtening in Africa are so violent....sort of strikes fear in the heart.
Reflections- yes the thunder and lightening can be quite violent- however, in this case, I think the old wiring and the wetness of the said wiring- ended up being part of the catastrophe. So sad!!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, I used to relish lights going off in the night amidst the thunder and rain, in the comfort of home that is :-)
ReplyDeleteAnil- my favorite memories are of the thunder storms...the lightening flashing across the sky- and the torrential rain. (as long as I was snuggled up in bed)
