Buiten ‘n paar plaaslike oorstromings in sommige dorpe het vandeesweek se yskoue\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

weersomstandighede die Weskus nie te erg getref nie \u2013 behalwe dat die snerpende koue, Weskussers na hul musse en dik baadjies laat gryp het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens het aan die begin van die week ‘n waarskuwing uitgereik oor twee kouefronte wat om die suidpunt van die land sou beweeg en wind van tot 65 km\/h sou veroorsaak.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Robin-Lee Batties, ‘n woord-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

voerder vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Weer-\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

diens, is 20,2 mm re\u00ebn by die Cape Columbine-weerstasie by Paternoster tussen Maandag en Dinsdag (20 en 21\u2009Mei) gemeet. Op die Facebook-groep “Re\u00ebnval Suid-Afrika” het Koos en Wilna Louw van Langebaan laat weet dat hulle tussen 20 en 21 Mei altesaam 32 mm gemeet het. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Schultz in Vredendal het ook 32 mm gemeet, en Susan-Katryn Janse van Rensburg het 20 mm in Paternoster gemeet. Ron\u00e9lda van der Schyff was een van vele Weskus-inwoners wat \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woensdagoggend (21\u2009Mei) die pragtige re\u00ebnboog bo-oor die Weskuspad (R27) tussen Velddrif en Langebaan afgeneem het.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethne Lawrence, ‘n skakelbeampte vir die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit, het ges\u00ea Dinsdag (20\u2009Mei) is plaaslike \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oorstromings in verskeie strate in Saldanha, Vredenburg, Laingville by \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Helenabaai, Diazville in Saldanha en Langebaan ervaar. Alle paaie is egter later die dag heropen. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melanie Bailey, wat al 46 jaar in Diazville woon, het aan Weslander ges\u00ea \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hoewel die re\u00ebn Dinsdag (20\u2009Mei) hard geval het, was dit baie welkom. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Om re\u00ebnskade tydens storms in Suid-Afrika te voorkom, stel die Wes-Kaapse regering voor om\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

huisinstandhouding, dreinering en voorbereidingsmaatre\u00ebls ‘n voorkeur te maak. Inspekteer gereeld geute, dakke, dreine en mure vir krake of skade, hou dit in stand en doen herstelwerk onmiddellik.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knap dreine op om te verseker dat hulle reg werk en verhoogde watervloei kan hanteer. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beveilig buitemeubels en voorwerpe en gebruik waterversperrings of sandsakke in vloedsensitiewe gebiede. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifiseer gebiede waar water opdam en verbeter dreinering. Moenie oorstroomde paaie of br\u00fbe oorsteek nie en moenie deur stilstaande water ry nie. As jy in ‘n storm vasgevang is, soek skuiling op ‘n veilige plek, soos ‘n gebou of onder ‘n brug. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moenie tydens storms weens die gevaar van vallende takke en puin onder bome parkeer nie.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bly ingelig oor weervoorspellings en waarskuwings en wees voorbereid om te ontruim indien nodig. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u2009Teen die tyd dat die koerant drukkers toe is, is geen verdere padsluitings of wind- of branderskade aangemeld nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
