The approaching storm

The approaching storm

Another of those promised cold fronts hit us today. A little while after I took this shot, the wind picked up and the rain came bucketing down all around Cape Town. CapeTalk radio was inundated with calls and text messages from people reporting flooded roads, mudslides and overflowing rivers. There were even reports of rock-falls on Victoria Road, which runs along the base of the mountain past Camps Bay and Llandudno.

Check out Lynn's pictures of the floods in Cheltenham, England - I'm pretty sure that there's nothing that Cape Town's skies could produce to compete with that!
