Brace yourselves for gales overnight
The municipality has issued a warning of high winds and seas overnight.
GALE force winds are expected to batter Durban and the neighbouring coastline overnight and into Wednesday morning.
The warning was issued by eThekwini Metro Municipality, advising residents to stay indoors and to secure their homes.
“Wind volumes are expected to reach up to 70km/h overnight into tomorrow morning.
“This could result in damage to structures, cause trees to fall and result in traffic congestion where these impact on roadways,” said head of communications Tozi Mthethwa.
Waves of between three to four metres high were expected to roll into Durban’s beaches.
“Residents, particularly those in the informal settlements, are requested to attempt to secure roof sheeting as heavy winds could cause damage to them.
“Tacking the roof with extra nails or adding some weight to the sheeting might assist to hold it in place,” said Mthethwa.
