Well it was full moon again on 19 June 2008 and the KZN South Coast felt the effects when a huge storm lashed the area causing a lot of damage and killing at least 12 people.

The Durban Weather Bureau said the heavy downpour had broken four rainfall records, one of them dating back to 1964.

1000’s of people have been displaced and have been accommodated in local community halls for the time being.

The damage to roads, bridges and other infrastructure amounts to billions of Rands and it will take a long time to repair/fix.

This part of South Africa has been hit quite a few times over the last 2 years and the sea has been claiming back large stretches of beach from Ballito Bay down to Port Shepstone. For more info on this storm go to:
