Here in Sandton as well. Power went out for a minute. Not sure if we're running on generators at the moment.

**** that was a lot of water... need to widen drainage, another 30min of that and would have backed all the way up into the house, drains are clear, just so much rain it was backing up faster than it could get through the drain through wall

Was driving from Fourways to Witfield last night. Every third idiot was driving with hazards on. That was annoying

Classic south African drivers. Hopelessly over or under reacting to conditions. So few seem to have a clue.

Thrashed down in Auckland Park.

Thought I'd leave early to miss the rain, got caught in a vicious hail storm, could barely see 100m ahead of me. Petrol stations were jam packed with people trying to escape the hail. Loads of roads flooded and not helped in areas with by run-off from the mine dumps.

As usual you had your heroes that want to speed in this mess.

Mine dump run off in Auckland park:wtf:
