lot more than 50mm I think.

Saw some videos of it hitting Toti, N2 is flooded and you can barely see 10m in front of you.

Pinetown is hit bad with some trees falling over and roads overflowing (drainage can't handle the volume of water).

Is it raining higher up in the catchment areas?

 

[FoXtroT]

Is it raining higher up in the catchment areas?

Not as I understand it, and if it is not this hard. This was forecasted to be a largely coastal storm.

 

[Lindiswa]

today's weather will probably assist.

 

[bandooq]

Right, here we go. Rain and wind reached.

 

[Gordon_R]

This was forecasted to be a largely coastal storm.

Predicted 3 day totals (09-11 Oct 2017).

Durban coastline got properly pomped today.

Huge damage prospecton, jacobs mobeni areas.
While all this was happening the sun was shinning a few miles inland on the hill.
Strong cut off low. There are cars strewn all over the S --> N N2 from Twini hill moving north.
