I would like to share the following image with our viewers of a severe thunderstorm that occurred between Cradock and Middelburg on the 3 December 2014. This is yet again a beautiful/breathtaking image coming from the Eastern Cape. The image was send to Storm Report SA by Kate Strydom. Congratulations to Kate and thanks for sharing this stunning image with us. (Click on image for larger view.)
Fire teams responded early this morning to a fire call due to a flare-up of the Signal Hill fire in Cape Town. Firefighters were hard at work throughout the night to extinguish the fire.
On a sad note: Condolences to the family and friends of Andrew Jantjies of Fish Hoek Disaster Management Volunteer Crops who died at the Kommetjie fire. Jantjies, an attorney by profession, was a member of the Fish Hoek Disaster Management Volunteer Corps for seven years and skilled in firefighting, first-aid and traffic control. He is survived by his wife and three children.
