Rain and storm for Cpt

[pinball wizard]

bandwidth issues,
gonna try later.
Got my phone outside now to try even connect.
Dunno, think the NW really troubles Cell C in my bunker flat.
Once the rain starts I am doomed I guess.

I've seen pics of telco towers flattened in CT now.

Make your own decisions

Crumbs just seen some of the biggest sets of the day.

It is large out there, but out of control.
Hopefully the wind backs off this evening, still bloody roaring here

So far it's all about wind, there is rain but not on a level that will make much difference to the dams.

Rain is supposed to come tonight, I believe.

It's raining now in Stellenbosch, still not that bad. Wind is relatively calm.

Dunno which area you are in.
I am perched overlooking the Atlantic, an boy its impressive.

Table view / western seaboard, and while one can see there's some action, my main gripe is all the doomsayer prophecies predicting some epic storm. Honestly I have seen NOTHING today that comes close to being a proper storm. Hell my commute to work was under blue skies and sunshine all the way to Century City, didn't even need my wipers, I even walked 1km in this morning's weather.

Let's be honest, the Cape Argus that was cancelled earlier this year had much stronger winds, and about a week ago my area had a much heavier downpour than this, neither of those were storms either ...

You want to see a storm, August 2008 was a storm, my double-pane sliding windows literally bent the aluminium frame that held them from the wind's force, I could stick my arm through the gap, the rain hit your face like a PK, on youtube you can find clips of that storm, the ocean water routinely got above the promenade level out in Seapoint.

With 80mm of rain and wind speeds in excess of 100km/h predicted for the current storm, it should be putting the 2008 storm to shame, yet it can barely be called a storm at all. This is just Cape Town winter weather, a big 'meh'.

You in the CBD, is the weather there really that bad? Maybe post some pics if you can. Sky is now clear here and still just a slight wind.

I see on News24 that Cavendish square mall is closed. Part of the roof collapsed.


Edit: Also the roof of the Mr Price store in Somerset Mall.


Looks like these shopping centres are cheaply built...
