The heavy rains currently being experienced across the country continue to leave behind a trail of destruction, but in some parts of the rift valley, a new phenomenon is causing panic among residents. They fear that the grounds are about to open up and could swallow them alive in the process, quite literally. Several parts of the rift valley, including Nakuru and Mai Mahiu, have continued to experience cases of some parts of the earth submerging and leaving huge gulley's. Evelyn Wambui was in Mai Mahiu and explains what geologists insist is simply the result of heavy rains and not volcanic activity.
