THE Department of Civil Protection (DCP) has warned the public to be wary of possible lightning strikes and to avoid parking vehicles under trees as remnants of Cyclone Freddy drenched some eastern parts of the country.
According to the Meteorological Services Department (MSD), Nyanga received 102mm, Mukandi 97mm and Chisengu 83mm as a result of the moisture stemming from the now crumbling Tropical Cyclone Freddy.
