Вже минуло кілька днів, а сусіди не признаються. Мовчать. Але ми все знаємо про їх надзвичайну подію, що сталася нещодавно! Завдяки нашим із собачкою щоденним прогулянкам від наших очей та носа нічого

Since the start of this year, we had several level 8 warnings with severe consequences. The palm tree will show you the speed of the wind, and as usual I was out to get the new storm's advancing clouds.

I said in a previous post that thankfully we had no uprooted trees in our area. In fact, we did and I just didn't know about it, as two trees in a park surrendered to the gale force winds. Not only that,

...and the barbers were strong gale force wind gusts. Thankfully no trees were uprooted in our area, as only their branches were ripped off. So, come and let me show you the battlefield and the fallen

The first of two new cold fronts arrived, and we decided to share some views. We are officially in winter now, and the damages were once again breaking records. The Cape of Storms is at the southern tip

This week our Durban property had a large branch of a tree come down which landed on the boundary wall of which also has an electric fence. This could have been far worse and at least the wall is still

Our Durban property suffered heavy rain damage about 3 weeks ago when the roof leaked quite badly. The good news is the assessor passed the claim and the insurance company will pay for the necessary repairs.

The culprit was a storm wind and look what it did. Shake rattle and roll, is the way that I would describe the result of a fierce wind that shook this camellia tree. But one can even find beauty in the

Last week our geyser/boiler blew and was replaced and fitted by a service provider appointed by our insurance company. I was impressed they got the job done the same day except the geyser they fitted was

Yesterday we had some fun and games as the geyser/boiler burst the night before and we caught it in time so it did not damage the ceilings. The drip tray did it's work for once and the water poured out

A mistake was made in the video: the $50K was only the asking for discovery. The total of the lawsuit amouns to ver $1 million. A civil lawsuit was filed against one of the people arrested for vandalism

The recent "Black South-Easter" wind has left its indelible mark. We call them organ pipe cactii, and sadly they were wrecked by the recent devasting storm wind. I can only imagine that these

Mr. Squirrel was in charge of the cleaning crew. Watching the cleaning crew from a highchair in his field office. You can see that the major part of his office has been ripped off by the strong wind. The

Our town is being besieged by extremely strong sporadic gusts of wind. The first four photos are of a big tree that fell next to a church building, breaking the windows on its way down. I took the pictures

I want to show you the power of the recent storm that devastated the Western Cape Province of South Africa. And also our first day of sunshine after the storm. As the news of the storm is all over the

The Cape of Storms in South Africa is true to its reputation, as we have had tons of water here, still raining now and more rain is on its way. Not a pleasant experience, as it is cold and one had to wash

We have many birds here that have only one foot and some with both feet gone. Leave only your footprints is a popular saying, but so many don't, and this is the result. This is a Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus),

My heart aches at the thought that this old and beautiful London Plane tree might also have to be cut down. We have an infestation of Pothole Borer Beetles that kill the trees, and it is said that we have

There's a lot of things going on around us and no one can predict what might happen later on. It's really hard to be taken by surprise especially if you're not prepared. Last friday August 12,2022 after
