UPDATE – VIDEOS FROM THIS AFTERNOON AND THE MADNESS IN SEA POINT HERE.
So the ‘best’ is still to come, with the real fireworks and winds starting from around 10AM today, but already the storm has wreaked some havoc.
Call it #DikWednesday, call it #CapeStorm, you do your thing – let’s just see some of those pictures and videos.
We’ll start with News24 and their live stream.

We are seeing a lot of pretty average photos around, too, good people. You’re better than that, Cape Town.
Do yourself a favour – you wanna rack up those social media likes, get the new iPhone from Digicape. Likes for daaaaays.
