Recent severe storms have wreaked havoc in Cape Town and surrounding areas in South Africa, displacing thousands of residents and causing extensive damage to structures. The inclement weather, which began a week ago, has been characterized by record rainfall and gale-force winds.
The latest storm, which hit overnight, resulted in significant destruction in the Wynberg neighborhood of Cape Town. Roofs were torn off houses, buildings were damaged, and electricity poles were brought down by the strong winds.
