The Western Cape was lashed over the weekend by this winter’s first severe storm which brought heavy rain, thunder, lightning, hail and snow.

Gale-force north-westerlies ripped off roofs, uprooted trees, brought down lamp-posts and powerlines. Many residents living in shacks woke up with their beds standing in water and their belongings sodden, while people in the Boland shivered as snow settled on the mountain peaks. - Cape Times
