Massive Rain Forecast – Don’t be fooled by the sunny day today

By

Isn’t it strange how easily we become complacent?

The Port Elizabeth Weather Guru is presently (08h30 on 25 March 2012) forecasting a massive deluge of rain between 17h00 and 23h00 of 15.1 millimetres. The forecast changes three hourly as more information comes in so you may see different numbers to ours.

We forget to check the weather forecast and then bam get hit by some really inclement weather and then look for someone to blame for our lack of foresight?

Here is one number that you may need between now and to-morrow morning: 0800 20 50 50 – Joint Operations Centre.

With the rivers already overflowing and the ground soaked we may find things a tad uncomfortable and wet tonight.

May I suggest to you, Kupido Baron along with emergency and disaster management, that you get some sleep during today morning as it looks like it could be a big one tonight?

I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
