Speaking to a resident in Glenvista, she said their courtyard this morning is still full of hail. “It looks like deep snow and we are praying we won’t get more hail later today.
On Friday mid-afternoon a thunderstorm hit which also brought hail.”
Gardens have been ruined with ripped trees and plants left with no foliage and leaves.
60 percent chance of thunderstorms predicted in Gauteng this afternoon but with recent inclement weather conditions, anything could happen!
