    It's not until you see the photos that it all really becomes reality... crazy.

    Hectic. Is this for real...?

    My cousin from Knysna said that Lookout beach was no more, so I presume this
    photo just backs it up!

    At least you can fish from the Lookout deck while drinking a beer.

    Goodness GRACIOUS me!!! I knew it was bad but had no idea it was this bad!

    I thought you may have been washed away there in George too!

    Geez, by the looks of the surrounding towns, I'm amazed that we didn't! Thankfully, we came off light this year.

    This is the second year running that we experienced floods! Last year struck George much more heavily. We had something like 400mm rain in 24 hours last year. This year it was almost the same but in a period of about 5 days, so it was not so devastating.

    Even now, the weather is weird. We had one summers day this week, the rest of the time it was cold and rainy. Most weird.

    As long as it's fixed by the 26th when I head through there from Cape Town!

    Hectic! I'm glad I don't own property on that shoreline. It must be pretty nice to have the sea right on your doorstep though (but scary too).
