I came over sir lowrys pass a couple of hours ago, had to get out to assist with an accident at the R44 crossing and the wind was very very hectic. Could barely stay on my feet.

Was it this accident?

Absolutely no wind in Tableview.

The surface low component of the cutoff-low is quite compact, with tightly packed isobars. Tableview is near the center of the low, with almost zero wind. Parts of the south Peninsula are very different...

Was it this accident?

Yes, people were on the back of the bakkie. I left just before that. I blocked the people from the wind with the bakkie. No serious issues but one woman had it rough, lots of cuts. There was a small child also but she only had a scratch on her head.

repeating what dualmeister had to post

 

[oldBastard]

Just came back from the Airport, my mind boggles at the amount of people not driving with their headlights on. Everyone was at least keeping to a speed of 100km/h, bar 1 asswipe.
