Terwyl die Saldanhabaai- en Bergrivier-munisipaliteite se noodspanne rondspring om inwoners te help met meestal omgewaaide bome en afgewaaide dakke, is groter skade weens die swaar re\u00ebn egter in die wyer Weskusstreek sedert Saterdag (6 Julie) aangeteken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens (SAWD) het ook die weerwaarskuwing vir vandag (Donderdag 11 Julie) na \u2019n vlak 8-waarskuwing weens verwagte ontwrigtende re\u00ebn opgegradeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die SAWD voorspel die reeks koue fronte sal tot die naweek voortduur en swaar re\u00ebnval, winderige toestande en donderstorms insluit. Hulle het reeds verskeie kere gewaarsku oor gure weer met \u2019n vlak 6-waarskuwing vir golwe langs die kuslyn tussen Kaap Columbine en Kaap Agulhas en \u2019n vlak 6-waarskuwing vir ontwrigtende sneeuval oor die berge van die Wes-Kaap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anton Bredell, die Wes-Kaapse minister van plaaslike regering, omgewingsake en ontwikkelings\u00adbeplanning, verwag \u2019n re\u00ebnval-hoogtepunt van 40 tot 60 mm met 80 tot 100 mm in bergagtige gebiede in die provinsie. Hy s\u00ea indien di\u00e9 verwagting realiseer, hou dit potensieel ernstige gevolge in. \u201cOns is bekommerd oor die moontlikheid van oorstromings, modderstortings en rotsstortings en as sodanig versoek ons mense om eerder veilig te bly en onnodige reistogte te vermy,\u201d waarsku Bredell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die departement styg damvlakke reg oor die provinsie \u2013 die Theewaterskloofdam staan tans op 71%, die Bergrivierdam op 97%, die Clanwilliamdam op 94% en die Wemmershoekdam op 83%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die departement sou tot Vrydagoggend gereeld water uit die Wemmershoekdam in die Bergrivier vrylaat as \u2019n proaktiewe voorsorgmaatre\u00ebl. Dit sou \u2019n buffer skep om die verwagte invloei van veral vandag se voorspelde re\u00ebn te absorbeer, wat die risiko van oorstromings stroomaf sou verminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew Sheldon, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Bergrivier-munisipaliteit (BM), het ges\u00ea Piketberg en veral Velddrif het Sondag (7 Julie) die meeste onder wind en re\u00ebn deurgeloop. Groot en klein bome het oral omgewaai en paaie versper terwyl huise se dakke afgewaai is en infrastruktuur by die Rhinopark- en Watsonia-stadion in Piketberg beskadig is. Verskeie private en munisipale eiendomme is ook beskadig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die BM staan sedert Maandag (8 Julie) bont om op te ruim. Hulle is ook besig met voorkomende maatre\u00ebls soos om bome af te kap en om boomstompe en takke wat \u2019n bedreiging vir eiendom, motoriste of voetgangers inhou, te verwyder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paaie is vandeesweek oral in die Weskus gesluit, veral waar dit oor laagwaterbr\u00fbe loop, soos by Citrusdal en Morawi\u00eb. Motoriste en voetgangers word gewaarsku om nie oorstroomde laagwaterbr\u00fbe te probeer oorsteek nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Al die betrokke instansies doen \u2019n beroep op motoriste om ekstra versigtig in die uiterste weer te bestuur en eerder tuis te bly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die BM se Gesamentlike bedryfsentrum (JOC) in Piketberg ko\u00f6rdineer plaaslike rampvoorvalle in die gebied vir die duur van die slegte weer. Sheldon s\u00ea die hoogs bekwame multi-dissiplin\u00eare span monitor stormskade in die verskillende dorpe en re\u00ebl opruimingswerk. \u201cHulle is voorbereid vir enige geleentheid,\u201d het hy verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Velddrif was Dinsdagoggend ook ure lank sonder elektrisiteit weens \u2019n kabel wat vermoedelik weens die wind gebreek is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Ethne Lawrence, woordvoerder vir die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit, is geen uitermate skade in die munisipale regsgebied aangemeld nie. \u201cDie voorvalle wat wel aangemeld is, behels dakke wat afgewaai het en elektriese pale en bome wat omgewaai is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water het in Langebaan oor \u2019n paar strate soos Noord-, Kerk- en Hoofstraat gevloei en die Seebriespark-vakansieoord is oorstroom \u2013 deels weens die stormvloed en hooggety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAlle interne departemente het hul gebeurlikheids- en noodplanne geaktiveer om spoedige hulp te verleen waar nodig,\u201d verseker Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Lauren Smith van die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens (SAWD) het die Saldanhabaai-gebied reeds 24 mm re\u00ebn ontvang en is die gemiddelde winde tussen 27,7 en 23,7 m\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
