And the heavens opened over Hermanus!!!

And the heavens opened over Hermanus!!!

I know what the UKs weather is like – rain rain and more rain – well get this – last Friday it started to throw it down – and didn’t stop until Monday morning – this was not your usual drizzle but horizontal rain drops the size of ball-bearing. And good god it was relentless. We received over 2 inches (4cms) in this short space of time. The official average rainfall for the whole month of April is 41mm – the local reservoir increased from 45% full to 70% and many roads were closed due to landslides – I went along one of these roads a day later and you should have seen the debris – 100s of rocks the size of cars and trees up rooted everywhere. The huge Hermanus lagoon was so full that the army had to be called in to remove a 100 metre section of Grotto beach so that the overflowing lake could escape into the sea.

Think we are totally sorted for water for awhile now god - cheers mate !!
