THE city’s Control and Disaster Management Unit has warned residents that gale force winds expected to hit Durban this evening and tomorrow.
“Wind volumes this afternoon are predicted at 40km/h and are expected to reach up to 55km/h overnight into tomorrow morning. This could result in damage to structures, cause trees to fall and result in traffic congestion.
“Wave heights are predicted to rise to between 3-4 meters and this could present a threat to beach-goers and surfers. Residents, particularly those in the informal settlements, are requested to attempt to secure roof sheeting as heavy winds could cause damage to them,” said Tozi Mthetwa, spokesman for the municipality.
