    Default Huge Hail Storm in PMB

    Luckily we got away with minor damage and 3 broken windows, but our neighbours got flooding, dented cars, tile damage and gutter damage.

    I will tell them and they got flooded because the drains in our street goes down their driveway into their door instead of accross as there is no funnel there, so they will have to ask the municipality.

    Quite a terrible road design by the municipality

    A that sucks big time! I am so sick of bad road design we have a road here that goes over a hill and the corners are sloped towards the wrong way. So going around it you think you might end up going down the mountain.

    Not sure how they passed the design phase without a test to see where the water flows

    Our roads nearby are also just as bad too the water runs into the corner of our road instead of down almost flooding it as the drains can't handle the water volume.

    Really grim. And this is on the back of a recent hail storm in the region. Sorry fella!

    My sister (Howick) got flooded last year because the hail blocked up the drains in front of her house and it took the next easiest route... right through the house. Happens so quickly

    My sister and brother-in-law are in PMB. Here's some pics:

    And here's a random pic that showed up on my Facebook timeline (apparently from this hail storm, although looks a bit unnatural):
