KZN Flooding: cancel all beach ideas for now
KZN Flooding: cancel all beach ideas for now – in video…
The storm came over us really early in the evening. As it got dark kinda thing. Proper lightning and thunder. But it moved north and started it’s relentless march to Durban. It was reported going over Banana Beach. Then Hibberdene.
Durban
Then Durban got hit hard. And all the areas inland of us simultaneously got pelted. So much so, that at 2 am this morning, the waters here in the Umzimkulu River, started to rise. By 3 am it come up an entire metre. By 4 am, even more.
The waters kept rising until about 8 am, at which point the extra-low tide started influencing the river. And by 10 am the river itself slowed down a tad…dropping a total of a metre or so.
The current situation is a fast-flowing river of rapids, carrying enormous amounts of flotsam and jetsam.
Other rivers
After that display from Mother Nature, every single river in KZN must be wide open now. I know that down here where we are that certainly is the case.
And aside from the flotsam and jetsom, this water has a dirty little secret. It carries all kinds of dangers within itself. Waste from hospitals. Raw sewage left untreated by the ANC. Oil and grime from the streets. Faeces from animals.
Sure, it is all going out to sea now…which is how the ANC get away with their abuse of the system. Even Harding just be clean after that deluge.
Main thing, do NOT go in that brown water.
