SCARY HAILSTORM

Hello Everybody,

Trusting you are all well.


This week we had a freaky thunderstorm in and around Johannesburg. Although we are subject to thunderstorms during our summer months, this storm was slightly more hectic, and I think it is all related to climate change.

Huge hail almost the size of tennis balls pelted down from the grey skies, and bolts of lightning flashed from the heavens above. The heavy rain poured down, and the winds continued to rage as people sought shelter.

This storm caused extensive damage to motor vehicles, several trees were uprooted, and potholes appeared. There was a loss of electricity in different areas and flash flooding in townships. Squatter camps were severely affected and some shanty homes washed away.

Spooky photos show how the roaring bolts of lightning affects the camera, one part of some pictures blacked out.

This is what my pit bull Isaiah did during the storm!

All the best.
Your friend,
Laura
