Tropical Cyclone KZN: Sunday Update
I've heard reports that sections of Durban's CBD are flooded and there was also a ridiculous bbm did the rounds that stated that Suncoast Casino had been flooded by a large wave.
So far so good, if the rain keeps up at this rate then I believe we will see the 300mm predicted for Durban and the full 600mm predicted for North Coast towns (Richards bay etc)
In the meantime stay safe, sand bag where you have too and drive slowly as visibility is very low. There will be deep puddles and pools on the freeways, typically under bridges or in curves of the road.

Keep safe, high and dry

Tropical Cyclone KZN : Update
People are starting to joke and make light of the "Cyclone that wasn't" but a friend on Facebook recently posted that they are actually on the beach at Salt Rock - North Coast - and that the waves are unusually high and aggressive (like certain durban 'bergies' on a Friday night) indicating that the cyclone is still on it's way.
There is still a disaster warning being upheld. For those who live up the North Coast of KZN please be watchful, if your home is low-lying then take precautions (sand bagging, towels under doors etc) to lessen the chance of any flooding. If you live near a water source (river, lake, dam) then please be prepared.
Good luck everyone!

Northern KZN is expected to get over 400mm of rain over the weekend thanks to the nasty tropical cyclone headed our way. God be with the shack dwellers and those living near, or at the mercy of, rivers.
Disaster management teams are on standby.
The last big tropical cyclone was 'Domoina' which hit KwaZulu-Natal in 1984 and dumped between 400 - 600mm of rain over a few days.
The Durban's Metro Police and Fire Department can be contacted on the following number 0313610000.
Durban and surrounds are expected to experience heavy rainfall from about 18:00 with rainfall of 200 - 400mm expected over the next three days.
