Batten down the Hatches South Africa

[BRICKBURN]

“DINEO” is expected to follow a predominantly south-westerly track over the next few days, whilst intensifying further, to reach the severe tropical storm (winds of 89-117 km/h) on the morning of 15th February, when it is projected to be just seawards of Massinga and Inhambane on the coastline of southern Mozambique.

From Wednesday to Friday, it is expected to move into the inland region of southern Mozambique, bringing heavy tropical rain to the sub- region.

During Thursday and Friday, the north-eastern parts of South Africa, including parts of the Kruger National Park, may experience heavy rain as well as localised flooding, although not likely to be as severe as the scenario expected for southern Mozambique.

Prayers to all of the people living in those bamboo and grass huts we saw when there last fall. Not a good way to break the drought.

My prayers for everyone's safety.

Those of you which have contacts there, be sure to keep us up to date after the storm passes.

I spoke to Jacques @AAA Africa Serapa Safaris earlier today. He was on the road headed home from Serapa, this would be to Schweizer-Renecke....he was driving in heavy rain, but he made it home okay.

Here's a link to a Mozambique website which has articles on Dineo. Inhambane may take a direct hit.
