[KZN] SA Weather Service issues heavy rain warning

[ToxicBunny]

I always thought it was mostly empty containers that was stored there. The floating ones seem empty but the damage from the collapse would have damaged stock in the other containers either way

Many of them would be.. But those containers are also worth a small fortune each

It's on the N2 opposite the old durban airport. There is a container storage yard there that got wrecked. I saw a video of the containers falling like jenga

Hectic!

Just heard our Durban office flooded. Hope the rain dies down soon for you guys in Durbs. Sounds hectic.

The containers themselves probably won't be right offs. You will be surprised how hardy those things are.

They have been predicting the big rain for a couple of years now, and it seems it has come.
Major devastation all over Durban.
Eish.

They have also predicted the collapse of infrastructure for decades. "Noone" cares.

Looks like ya'll KZNers are finally being swept into the sea like those loons suggested.

Jesus what kak. **** ton of units in the complex completely flooded, and we haven't had power since 1h30 this morning

I'm not a geographer, but this very much has the shape of a cyclone

Technically, that is what it is. A low-pressure system is a cyclone, and this is a cut-off low.

We also had enough rain now, and planning a trip this weekend, hope we have any sunshine. I am just fearing sinkholes.. this rain is not good for Gauteng, roads are already a pothole auction.
