Oh well. there was a fifty fifty chance of me being right ! :crylaugh:

The joke in the familie is all we need to do is wash a car. My Nissan Navara takes me 3 hours to wash dry and polish.

Was in the middle of it in Bryanston while driving home. I should have taken images, but roofs were scattered everywhere, boundary walls and gates blown down or displaced and various roads closed due to trees. Quite a lot of debry. Even the railing of the bridge had flown off.

Looks like a "fake/old" picture. Someone recorded it and it looked very different:

Yes, it was captured from Krugersdorp's side - https://krugersdorpnews.co.za/33706...aven-cradlestone-mall-sasol-pinehavens-roofs/

In addition, here is a video of it forming at the bottom of the hill - https://www.facebook.com/groups/KrugersdorpForum/permalink/871398969693348/

Is there damage in Bryanston too? That's pretty far from cradlestone.

Along Crowley Road was crazy. It might have something to do with the mini tornado in sunninghill? Here bordering the highway and running parallel to witkoppen.

Saw the big billboard next to Aucor N1 North just after Samrand in Centurion took a dive when the winds picked up....

Let me guess capetonian? I saw you guys jump 3 feet high and start sharing on watsapp at one lightning strike.

Constant boring and annoying wind is your stuff. We get the real stuff.

Only the gautengers who care. To quote mr. Hicks, the beach "is where water meets dirt". Not really that fascinating.

My step daughter lives in cowley road. Apparently her neighbor's couch is in a tree. Tiles smashed and bricks strewn everywhere. They say a tornado blew through.

Yoh it was hectic in the East Rand. Hail zigzagging down in buckets. It looked like snow. The wind was hectic too. Part of the roof at the Lemon Tree collapsed and many roads were flooded. Hopefully that's the end of it for this week.

Protea Rif / Ridge Primary School - school still quiet on the number of injured scholars. I think not all parents have been informed yet.

Hope the kids will recover soon. Must have been really scary for them
