What road are you using to get to PE from Seaview?

 

The only road that still open is Kragga Kamma, albeit VERY wet up there. Then the highways will also still be open I assume.

Hey the LOOOOONG way round via Colleen glen, Kragga Kamma- The usual 17km route to school is now a 35km trip...

Luckily being midway down a hill with depressions on either side has meant our house has come out pretty much unscathed. Septic tank and french drain has collapsed though. I would have had a beautiful view of Salt Vlei (bulldozer in road with wooden walkway pic) in full flood.

Stupid question perhaps, but couldn't that damn be made a whole lot bigger (looking at that valley)... Just thinking of PE's endless water supply problems (drought drought drought flood).

All they needed to do was grade the silt up the sides and ride it away when they had the drought.It would have doubled the PE dams capacities and they could have made some money from the fertile soil.

It will cost a few billion to expand the walls.
