A Rare EF1 Waterspout at Velddrif on the 13th August 2022 !

A surprise waterspout occurred at Velddrif on the 13th August 2022.

The waterspout made landfall with a destructive path of over 500 metres long and 20 to 26 metres wide. It took the roofs off two flats and two houses and caused mild damage to several other properties which included collapsed walls and an uprooted tree. Fortunately there were no injuries.

Similar to a tornado, a waterspout forms over water and can bring with it damaging winds and is usually short-lived.
