It seems that the region where we lived before coming to the UK has suffered devastating floods. It is know that up to 60 have died, but the total could be a lot higher. Some tile and mortar homes were washed around. Dozens of brand new Toyota cars under water.
When we visited South Africa in 2018 we stayed in an area that was on the crest of a hill. A picture sent by the daughter shows that the home next door to where we stayed was under about 1m of water as it in a very slight dip on the crest. She also sent some videos of water running through homes like indoor waterfalls.
Thousands of people homeless with no electric, no water and food. For more see here and click on the various links.

Daughter and family returned home on Friday after a break and no water. It seems that they may be without water for a few weeks as none of the pumping stations are working and some are still under water. The whole region is without water and electric is very intermittent.
Luckily their home never suffered any flood damage however they are now really looking forward to emigrating to the UK.
