It was supposed to be the worst storm in 7 years to hit Cape Town. We were told to stock up on canned food and batteries. It hit at about 17:30 on Saturday and it was big like an ant is big in a microscopic world would be... Make no mistake, it was a vicious storm that went on for a whole 20 min and the rain was non stop sheets of water. The waves were huge and we watched them break right over the breakwater into the harbour. At the end of the day, there was alot of rain and some foam in Granger Bay. These Capetonians know how to exaggerate. There was a much bigger storm my first year in Cape Town which was only about 5 years ago. It is however at times like these, where I truely feel the presence of God. Not when the sun is shining or its nice out there, but when its storming and the water is gushing down and the sea is choppy and the water are huge. That is when I realise the power and might of God.

You neglected to mention that those 20 minute downpours happened more than once, in fact they were frequent – 1 every hour or so the whole night. AND your house flooded!
In the papers this morning there are pics of Three Anchor Bay and the foam is over the walls and on Beach Road! The road was closed for hours... we just saw the beginning. And in Strand the beach road became a tidal pool.... which has NEVER happened before (not even 5 years ago....) :-)
