This cutoff-low is indeed a somewhat unusual weather system for the Western Cape. However the majority of the effects will be felt offshore, as the center of the low is positioned south-west of Cape Town:

Wind-storm. Gales are forecast along the southern coast today. See: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/att...rom-saweatherservices-1-sept-2020-pdf.903918/

Along the coasts, strong south-easterly to easterly winds will reach a gale force (65-70 km/h) from Table Bay and all the way along the southern coastal belt up to Port Alfred.

As a result of these persisting windy conditions, seas will deteriorate substantially with high seas and wave heights in an excess of 6m can be expected already from this evening between Cape Point and Plettenberg Bay. Due to the easterly orientation of the waves, normally sheltered bays and beaches will be exposed to high waves and this will pose serious difficulties.

Yes, that thunder around 3.40am sounded like a plane crashing. Saw 2 people earlier driving around trying to find missing cats.

Buckets coming down now in Brackenfell...just as I have to leave to go buy groceries and pick kids up from school.

I hear everyone say the thunder was loud last night, even the dj's on the radio
I never heard a single thing
might be due to the fact that I had 2 jagerbombs and 12 beers last night

Thunder woke my daughter at about 3am so we she ended up in our bed then she would not go back to sleep

 

[WAslayer]

Don't know if my gauge is broken but, it's reporting 21mm of rain fall in the last hour..

 

[CTBP]

Around 3:30am 1 big flash just under 2 seconds before the boom and a smaller one immediately after which lit up the sky in a amazing blueish purple color, it was awesome, I wish there was more though, it fizzled out pretty quickly.
