    I hope you were all bundled up and safe at home this weekend because the weather was insane.

    Capetonians know what I mean when I say that the rain was sideways.

    Gale-force winds and heavy downfall rocked Cape Town, doing some considerable damage along the way, causing power outages, destroying homes, damaging cars, and uprooting trees.

    IOL reports:

    According to the City of Cape Town, three dwellings were destroyed in the Victoria Lodge Informal settlement in Southfield and two structures were damaged in Lotus Park, Gugulethu, due to a tree that was uprooted.

    “More large trees were uprooted across the city in the following areas: Wynberg, Plumstead, Fish Hoek and Retreat. These incidents are being attended to by the Recreation and Parks Department,” said Charlotte Powell, the head of Public Awareness and Preparedness at the City of Cape Town.

    “Power outages were experienced in Philippi, Steenberg, Fish Hoek, Kensington, Hout Bay Plumstead and Gugulethu.”

    The Electricity Department will attend to all reported outages. Various roads across the City were flooded and these are being attended to by the Transport Directorate,” Powell said.

    The South African Weather Service on Friday warned that two cold fronts would bring gale-force winds (between 60 and 80 km/h) along the coast, with strong gale-force winds of 80-100km/h predicted offshore.

    Cape residents shared videos of the storm on popular Facebook page Storm Report SA.

    The storm is expected to make its way to the western parts of the Western Cape moving to the south coast and the Little Karoo.

    If you live along the Western and Eastern Cape coastline, expect high seas and gale-force winds.

    Brace yourself for some heavy weather.
