The Cape of Storms is living up to its name today as huge foamy waves have been crashing over the barriers in Sea Point, along the Atlantic Seaboard, as the predicted Cold Front hits the Western Cape of South Africa.

The SABC News Western Cape shared video and photos of the flooded scene near the Shell Garage in Three Achor Bay this morning, where waves were crashing onto the road.

Unfortunately the strong gale force winds in Strand have demolished several temporary classrooms at Nomzamo High School near the N2, said the SABC.

The SA Weather Service (SAWS) has posted satellite images showing a comparison between today’s storm (13 July 2020) and the monstrous Cape Storm in June 2017 with an incredible resemblance. “Stay safe,” said SAWS.

High to very high seas and storm surges are expected… and are being experienced. See below…
