Footage: Rescue teams wade through water to assist stranded animals

In the midst of heavy flooding, a team of inspectors from the Cape of Good Hope SPCA collaborated with City law enforcement officials and rescue services to assist abandoned animals. As families evacuated to safety, many animals were inadvertently left behind.

I am surprised that the bridge is still standing.

 

[Rocco1]

sooo ... heading to Hermanus tomorrow ... anyone know why Sir Lowry's was closed and if it's likely to still be closed a day later?

looks like sir lowry's re-opened with probably a lane or 2 closed. take pics

 

[Nerfherder]

Clarence drive not going to be open anytime soon it seems.

Can anyone confirm? Know some people stuck in Pringle Bay trying to get back to CPT.

As far as I know Pringle is cut off for now. Clarence Drive closed and the Palmiet bridge between Kleinmond and Betty's Bay closed.

well if the palmiet bridge R44 is closed outside Kleinmond, they are stuck until that re-opens. so whether Sir Loury's is open or not doesnt matter if they cant get out botriver/grabouw.

Uber a boat ride to Gordons Bay it seems.

That's last week's dam levels. Still waiting for this week's update...

 

[Gordon_R]

Is that more rain predicted for this coming Saturday? Sigh, I have a holiday booked, that's if the place is still there after this weekend, waiting for a response form the owner.

Some rain overnight on Fri 29th into Sat 30th. Big drop in temperature though. Two weddings that I know of...
