Floods Ravage Kenya: Nearly 200 People Dead, 30,000 Displaced | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Since the month of March, torrential rainfall has caused flooding and landslides in Kenya. The devastating floods have killed at least 188 people and at least 30,000 people have been displaced. There is heavy damage to key economic resources like infrastructure and crops. On Wednesday, the Maasai Mara reserve was left inundated after a river broke its banks. At least 90 tourists and staff have been evacuated, more are feared to be missing. President William Ruto has amped up efforts this week. He has ordered the military to join rescue operations in Kenya. But locals say rescue efforts have been slow. Is relief in sight? Palki Sharma tells you.

[@iruofaghanathan2015]

There's a message behind this heavy rains and floods... No amount of religious emotions or spiritual practices can stop the natural process of creation,; we have to understand this. This is not disaster(or any end time ) but part of the creation process (construction/creation and deconstruction/destruction happening) which we didn't learn on time, and it keeps repeating; reality is a duality..the two (2) ends of one pole occurring in balance.

[@mimi21746]

UAE Cloud seeding must have contributed to this. Rains in East Africa come in through the monsoon winds that blow from the UAE, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. So these winds definitely came in with the extra rains and cloud hygroscopic iodine salts in the UAE sky. Also, something strange is that the rainfall has been falling at specific times, from around 4:00 PM until early morning every day, this hints its all man-made, justifying its relationship to the UAE cloud seeding program. The rainfall has called every major part of Kenya, even the arid areas, very very suspect.

[@kandisphere8828]

Stop writing ignorant things. It is El nino, also highly likely that there is the Indian ocean dipole, and negative impacts of climate change. We have always had El nino happening every few years.

[@mimi21746]

​@@kandisphere8828 you probably never did Geography in high school, to know what even monsoon winds are. And, you don't win by giving strawman statements.

[@kandisphere8828]

@mimi21746 You're wrong because I have studied physical geography as modules for both my bachelor and masters, so high school geography has got nothing on me. Just search for a video on El nino and understand about ENSO and how the La nina and El nino happen, and also look up a research paper/article on the Indian dipole.

[@mimi21746]

@@kandisphere8828 you do but you can't figure out cloud seeding causes climate change, how?

[@kandisphere8828]

@mimi21746 If you think the reason for El nino in Kenya is because of cloud seeding by the UAE, and you don't even want some light on what actually causes it, then I have no time for you. I end with this: look up the ENSO to learn about El nino and La nina, and also the Indian Ocean Dipole. Learn why climate change (and abnormally high temperatures) can cause the ocean to warm more, plus the impact of trade winds and how this contributes to the periodic El nino in East Africa. Climate change impacts make the El nino more intense, and hence why we have more floods and rain. It will still happen in another 2 to 7 years from now, and it has been happening since time immemorial.
