Rain and storm for Cpt pt 2

[Slckrck]

We're going to have new building codes after this.....too many roofs have taken flight

Isn't it a bit early in winter for this weather. It's not exactly ice cold, but this much wind and rain is unusual for early May.

Best advice you could give. He is FO stupid.

Anyway, I just got an email saying all schools across the western cape to be closed tomorrow.

Like you A-Holes that comment the way you like and think you supreme with high post counts. meanwhile you all seem just as FO stupid! I am here to slowly become a troll too.

WCED put out a notice now, schools are closed tomorrow in the Western Cape. I don't know whether it will be applicable to all schools so do check.

Also got notifications, schools are closed tomorrow, but the weather is easing up tomorrow?

This is what it looks like in the north, and with everything saturated, I am foreseeing a bad day tomorrow

Yes, they have the authority to close schools. I think its an advisory but looks like everyone is following suite.
Government schools can't close without this.

Roads are going to be stuffed... and more trees falling tonight Im sure.

But like I said before... nothing puts a damper on a storm like them closing the schools.

The storm which lashed Cape Town on Monday did not spare one of the Mother City's iconic landmarks, with Newlands Cricket Stadium flooded and sheeting torn from the roof of one of the stands.

Those chopper deliveries they promised would come in handy now.

Although, I would not want to be flying a chopper now.

but in Hong Kong they take off in Typhoons all the time, are us westerners not skilled enough? or are the rules different here?

2 things:
1) practice
2) planning.

As has been explained, it depends on crosswinds.

You may have come across the following situations: While flights were still able to depart and land with the No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal in force, but a significant number of flights were delayed or even cancelled when the No. 3 Strong Wind Signal had been issued. But why is this the case?

That being said, right now there is a NW wind, which basically is in line with the smaller runway.





Delayed flights are probably expected because they have just halved the runway capacity.
