Die Kranspoortspruit het binne 'n kort bestek in 'n siedende rivier verander na die stortreën.

Interessant om te meld dat daar tussen 20-40mm op verskillende plekke op die dorp geval het. In die omgewing van Doornkop en Kranspoortdorp was daar egter ‘n geweldige stortbui en is daar tot 67mm in ‘n kort bestek gemeet.

By Kranspoortdorp was die mense verstom, aangesien die Kranspoortspruit binne ‘n kort bestek sy walle oorstroom en bo-oor die bruggie gespoel het.

• Die ander stand van damme (Maandag gemeet) is as volg: Witbank 59.3%, Bronkhorstspruit 70.3%, Loskop 62.2%, Flag Boshielo 53,7%, Nooitgedacht 65.4% en Vygeboom 77.1%.
