“Nthawi iliyonse mvula ikagwa, imakhala yoipa kwambiri,” iye anatero. “Ndimadandaula nthawi iliyonse mvula ikagwa.”
Tikhoza kupereka choyezera madzi chomwe chimayendetsedwa ndi radar chomwe chingathe kuyang'anira kuchuluka kwa madzi omwe akuyenda nthawi yomweyo, chonde dinani chithunzicho kuti mudziwe zambiri.
