Thankyou for your photos; I'm sorry to see so much flooding in a beautiful town; hope nobody was hurt and no serious damage done. Does this sort of event happen often there? Has the weather cleared up now? Best wishes.

Interesting report. Looks like a low level jet has been feeding moist air into a slow moving frontal zone.

Davide, I'm so sorry to hear that people have died because of this storm. Thankyou for posting the link to the video. The floods look very dangerous. I hope that the situation improves quickly and that damage is able to be repaired. All that water rushing past may have damaged roads and foundations of buildings? Take care.

Wow, closest we've been to that around here was in Matata in May 05. That's awful, I'm glad it happened during the day rather than at night as I suspect their could have been a lot more fatalities. It will be interesting the see the after photographs. Our thoughts are with them.
