Do not fill this in! == Flooding == The citizens of Osogbo, Erin-Osun, and Ilobu, in particular, had no idea what lay in store for them when the heavens opened up for a rainstorm on Tuesday, August 3, 2021. In contrast to earlier floods in the state, which were preceded by a warning from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, the nearly 8-hour downpour struck like a robber in the night and left tales of grief, tears, and blood by morning.The state capital, Osogbo, was hardest hit, while the damage also spread to numerous other communities. Ibu-Amo, Oke-Arungbo, Oke-Ayepe, Powerline, Gbonmi, Oke-Baale, Obalende, Obate, Oke-Oniti Alekuwodo, and Oke Awesin in Erin-Osun are some of the most impacted localities as Osun River, Awesin stream, and Opopo stream overflow their bounds.<ref>{{Cite news |website=www.vanguardngr.com|access-date=2023-09-24|title=How flood ravaged communities in Osogbo, Erin-Osun |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/08/how-flood-ravaged-communities-in-osogbo-erin-osun/}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
