FOLLOWING the Easter weekend’s hailstorm that ripped through parts of Brackendowns, Alberton and surrounding areas, the RECORD went to the streets to find out if Albertonians are geared for severe weather conditions?
EDWARD PAPIAH: “In my case, it is very rare to find myself vulnerable and exposed to severe weather conditions. This is because I reside in a safe and well-built complex which implies that I am geared up for any weather conditions.”NELISIWE SISHANGE: “After this weekend’s hailstorm I realised there were safety measures which needed to be put in place. My family and I found ourselves mopping tirelessly to dry out the lounge, and a few appliances were drenched in water. We don’t have any solution if a similar storm occurs again.”MIKE HONEYWILL: “I have a boat at the back of my house, just in case everything starts floating. I am not geared up for any severe weather conditions, especially to the similar recent one.”NELSON NDLAZI: “You cannot be prepared for either a disaster or a hazard. This is nature taking its course and the only way is to prepare yourself for the worst.”
