Rain and storm for Cpt

[Agent_Smith]

Buying gumboots at Mica. I can't pretend it's not wet this winter. Dog walking requires off-path routes.

Minor flooding on our lawn in Kenilworth:

Oh cool, you have an altar. Is this weather as a result of some saturday night ritual?

Holy Moly
Just saw a video of Woodhead Dam overflowing pretty badly
Onto the Orangekloof private hiking trail
I do it often and have never seen water coming out on the side of the dam
It's hectic up there

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Good news, the road has just reopened there by our substation a minute ago

 

[Syphonx]

Why?

Sea level rise, and because the coastline North of the harbour is being eroded away due to changes in the ocean currents

Tell me about it.

I'm on 17% and not going to make it through the night.

I wasn’t expecting us to be down this long, so was pulling around 400w Most of the morning.. currently sitting just under 200w, and should be around 100w from 21:00 when kiddos are asleep

Wind is howling way more than yesterday.

Roads are going to be fun later.

Currently on 29%

I lowered my usage to <=150w

Almost 23hours without power due to the substation issue in Somerset. I have about 4-5hours left before inverter shutsdown when battery is at 10%

I made it to 4am. All other home with backup here by me also did not make it through the night.

I'll see what time it restarts. I should still be getting some sun to give it enough charge to restart.

We had 'only' 27mm in our gauge in Kenilworth, but everything is so wet, and the lawn is more squishy than yesterday. The temperature is surprisingly mild at 17C. Not a typical cold-front, more an area of moist and unstable air.

Further heavy rain is predicted for the early morning of Sat 17th, and later on Sun 18th into Mon 19th. Thereafter it may be dry for a few days, until the next onslaught...

/Moose likes living in the desert today!



They gonna wash away!

 

[AchmatK]

Power was just restored by me.

Wind blew over one of my 10 year old Yucca trees
