KISUMU, Kenya Dec 19 \u2013 Agoro Village in Kajulu, Kisumu County, has been thrown into deep mourning following a tragic incident in which a man and his two grandsons were killed after a tree uprooted by heavy rains and strong winds crashed onto their home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two other family members sustained serious injuries and were rushed to hospital, where they are currently receiving treatment.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Thursday night after hours of intense rainfall accompanied by strong winds that battered the area.<\/p>\n

According to residents, the ground had been heavily saturated by continuous rains, weakening the roots of large trees in the area.<\/p>\n

One such tree suddenly collapsed onto the family\u2019s house, trapping the occupants inside and leaving them little chance of escape.<\/p>\n

Neighbours rushed to the scene after hearing loud screams and a thunderous bang, only to be met with a heartbreaking sight.<\/p>\n

Rescue efforts continued for several hours as residents worked together to remove debris and retrieve the victims.<\/p>\n

The bodies of the three deceased were later recovered, while the injured were taken to hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

The tragedy has left the Agoro community in shock, with residents describing the deceased as members of a humble and close-knit family.<\/p>\n

Many residents gathered at the homestead to console one another, while others called on authorities to step in and assist families affected by the ongoing rains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis rain has caused too much suffering,\u201d said one resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are losing people, homes are being destroyed, and many families have nowhere to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident comes amid widespread destruction caused by heavy rainfall across Kisumu County.<\/p>\n

Several areas, particularly low-lying regions and settlements near rivers and Lake Victoria, have experienced flooding that has displaced dozens of families.<\/p>\n

Floodwaters have submerged houses, destroyed household property, and swept away crops, leaving many residents in distress.<\/p>\n

Some roads in the county have become impassable due to flooding, disrupting transport and economic activities.<\/p>\n

Kisumu County is among the regions prone to flooding during prolonged rainy seasons.<\/p>\n

Poor drainage systems, encroachment on riparian land, and rising water levels continue to expose residents to recurring disasters whenever heavy rains occur.<\/p>\n

County authorities have urged residents living in high-risk and flood-prone areas to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
