Delays at the bridge today, as the workers move frantically to remove the barriers from the bridge....

Sources from the prefect camp at Brandkaros (near Beauvallon) , claim the water has risen by 3 m there at 05.00am this morning....

Eyewitness's at Keimoes have informed site members that water cleared their bridges yesterday....

We are also led to believe that there is a mud plume extending into the Atlantic ocean which spans about 30km westwards.....

I believe that the river is expected to peak on Tuesday/Wednesday...... hope the Spar truck gets through......

Mike, there should soon be plenty of drift wood  for collecting on the beach. Just watch out for the snakes that come down with it.
Looking forward to seeing some of the photographs.

Ta! Alfie, with the big water expected in the next 72 hours, one wonders if the Swartkops farm is gonna get flooded.....

I don't think it's going to be that big but I've been wrong before, Remember there's a big tap by the sea so will it build up I don't know
