Parts of Nelspruit lost electricity for 18 hours. We only lost the lights in the upper part of our house, but since we were expecting guests we called an electrician on Saturday afternoon who was able to fix the lights.

Stormy Weather
Last week we had two really bad tropical storms. The first one on 10 November which was our 9th Anniversary. Very strong winds, a lot of thunder and lightnings and heavy rain. 44mm of rain in 20 minutes! The total precipitation was close to 100 mm over night. And three days later another storm with the same effects. It's good that the water reserves are filling up so we can irrigate our garden later this summer, but the immediate effect on the garden is not nice.

Naturen är mäktig och gör som den vill. Bara man inte kommer i kläm. Jag skulle gilla lite storm, men bor man i inlandet så blir det inte mycket av det.
Man får respekt för naturen vid sådana händelser. Här på gården har vi ju smidigt nog reservelverk och egen brunn så det är ganska tryggt men det kan vara skrämmande...
