It's storming like crazy in Cape Town

[Stickfigure]

Looking at these pics, I'd rather stay in Joburg for a few more days. Flying back to Cape Town tonight

Wait is that because of the rain,so is this normally the way the sea in ct behaves in bad weather?Is it not some kind of higher than usual tide like a distant tsunami effect?

It's just the tide. Like a storm surge.

It just hailed here in the Foreshore. Was not big but it was a lot!

Ok thats a mean tide.....:twisted:

Where the f**k is spring???!!!

And here in JHB we're asking where is the rain? 30 degrees and cloudy out here but no rain.

It was a full moon last night so that would have made it a high tide.

High tide happens everyday, spring tide is the term you're looking for.

Spring high tide is what he meant it happens every month.

P.S there is also a spring low tide which is lower than usual.Comes on the same day.So "spring tide" is ambiguous.

Just had a good showering of hail in Century City.

10 mins of rain must've brought close to 5mm of rain I'd reckon.

Ag poor people, it's the middle 30's here every day but because it is autumn here it is cooler then when we got here to Florida.

Boet, we are. Almost every day there is a thunderstorm and or a cloud burst but it's over in minutes but sometimes the rain last a day and it's bad on the roads with a constant rain.

On a side note, I was outside now watching a damn possum walking around the pool area, this thing was as bid as a cat.

Big storm hitting us now. Thunder and lightning from a pitch black sky and strong winds.
