“Gale to strong gale force winds blowing at 65-100km/h” are afoot, said forecaster Bransby Bulo at the weather service, “and the highest impact is on communities around Table Bay, False Bay, Hermanus, Cape Agulhas and adjacent interior areas”.
Those in affected areas were urged to be cautious as damage to “formal and informal settlements” ensues, while trees falling over are “affecting properties and road travel”. Damage to coastal infrastructure, beach erosion and difficulties for boaters and fishers was also expected, “while medium to large vessels will be at risk as a result of dragging of anchors”.
