Cloud no 9

Post by pietpetoors »

I never posted this because it is not something i want to talk about, but yes, i went to Gauteng for Chirstmas. Don't ask, family responsibilities. :oops: :oops:

Anyway, on our way to Krugersdorp when we passed Westonaria we saw these clouds and shortly thereafter it rained very hard. I did not see anything in the news the next day so it seems like nothing too serious in Westonaria.

Jis Pieter... Daai is nice foto's al is dit in die ry geneem.

Ek praat onder korreksie maar dis laaste tornado wat ek van weet wat hier in Gauteng / Transvaal was, was juis op die Wesrand.

Alhoewel daai wolke op jou foto indrukwekkend lyk is daai nie 'n patch teen die wolke wat hier in Januarie al oor gekom het nie :shock: :shock:

Nice 'once in a lifetime' pics, Pieter .... Definitely a cyclone and maybe a super cell developing, but sometimes they just dissipate on their own and don't develop into a tornado.

Interesting stats, Cassie. I am aware of the two recent E/Cape ones and witnessed some of the damage of the first one. Awesome power!

Hi Pieter. Was hierdie dalk op die 24ste Desember gewees? Ons was in Randfontein op die 24ste to ons ook so 'n tipe van storm afgeneem het wat van Westonaria se kant af gekom het. Ek sal die pics plaas as ek snapshot uit die video gedoen het.

Teen die tyd wat die storm oor Randfontein was, het dit geluk so Armageddon!
