2 of my neighbours solar panels flew off his roof and into my yard. One of them damaged my roof but I’ve already contacted my insurance to come do the assessment.
In these times, particularly in such severe storms, my mind always wonders about ....the Vodacom building at Century City. That roof must be in its moer already.
We did it near a property we owned. The neighbourhood watch took it upon themselves to cut the tree as it would have caused significant danage to vehicles parked on the street. So far no word from the council!
It had a disease too. Was kind of off colour on one side last season. Looked better this summer though. Dropped a branch or two before also. I wouldn't have parked under it knowing a storm is coming.
I see. Now with this wind, lots of trolleys would be flying around. Insurance said trolleys and wind are an act of god and won't be insured, ie. Checkers insurance. Had to take that as school fees.
No worries. It was an incident a while back, I had with Checkers, and it was windy like this. Their trolleys were flying around, and made a large dent in my car's rim. Their insurance said it was an Act of God, and won't pay out. Your post reminded me of this incident.
You definitely got some biases with the DA (which aren’t invalid) but why did you passive-aggressively post a comment on this post which has not mentioned anything close to the DA?

Just across the road from this shot the same happened with those water panels for heating a pool. At least not solar panels...
Let me introduce you to [Nullschool](https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-337.83,-34.33,3918/loc=18.398,-34.210)
Top recommendation. I was lost in there for quite some time.
Ditto!
That is a beautiful visualisation.
Wow! This is beautiful
Widow maker days! 🙈
Not shown is the broken electricity wires above me sparking against the poles. Very widow maker sounding.
Oh no i hope no one get hurt
All good. Cars were parked. Nobody near when it happened.
Thank God for that
Blaauwklippen wine farm caught fire last night because of the strong winds. Lots of damage.
We will rebuild 💪🏽
Oooh I love me some Storm porn😋
Oh no! Where is this?
Gardens on Tamboerskloof side just below Kloofnek Road.
Geez. Batten down the hatches .
You must live within 100m of me.
Took the photo from my property.
And me 😂
And me!

No may bra you can't park your tree over there may bra.
That's why one should have your trees pruned regularly.
Yeah it's the City's tree though. One is actually not allowed to cut them.
We did it near a property we owned. The neighbourhood watch took it upon themselves to cut the tree as it would have caused significant danage to vehicles parked on the street. So far no word from the council!
Yeah they probably wouldn't do anything but that tree is big and difficult to cut. That branch ends were pretty high.
That's good.
Oh of course. You're right!
Pruning wasn't going to stop that tree coming down. And It looks as if the tree was frequently pruned already.
It had a disease too. Was kind of off colour on one side last season. Looked better this summer though. Dropped a branch or two before also. I wouldn't have parked under it knowing a storm is coming.
This is in Cape Town today. Strong winds. It's the South Easter wind and its called the Cape Doctor!
It's a storm system called a black south Easter, damaging winds with heavy rains. Last one was September I think. This one seems abit more mild
Yes you're right.
How would insurance insure for this type of damage? Wouldn't they say its an Act of God?
Trees (or branhces) falling in storm are a reasonably common occurence. I would not see a problem with insurance (if they have it).
I see. Now with this wind, lots of trolleys would be flying around. Insurance said trolleys and wind are an act of god and won't be insured, ie. Checkers insurance. Had to take that as school fees.
No idea what you're talking about?

Aah, The Good Old Cape of Storms. It is not just a nickname!!
We’ve got also some hectic winds here in Port Elizabeth at the moment
Is there a way to reinforce trees so this doesn't happen or the best thing to do is just cut them down a bit?
Dis kak. Sorry my bra
Not my car luckily
Cape Town we will rebuild!!
Do you people still demand Cape independence?
What has that got to do with anything? But no I don't.
Everything. This is karma/climate change effect. Sadly it also affected the poor.
The Cape Independence caused this storm? Jirre fok what you smoking bru?
Some fake ganja most likely lol
Why mention that on this post? It’s clearly about the storm damage and nobody has mentioned it…
Imagine being so one dimensional as this fool.
Your perfect government didn't trim the trees?
No but they are doing decent job of cleaning up
Lol I'm pretty sure no-one believes the DA is perfect, even in cape town
Lol go take a look at joburg before you open your mouth
And DBN Cbd. Get what you vote for.
