Hail is one thing, but heavy hail in November is something else entirely. Residents of Clerksdorp were as perplexed as anyone else.
On Thursday, heavy hail fell in Clerksdorp. You only have to see it to believe it. Thanks to social media, there was plenty of evidence.
It wasn’t exactly what the South African Weather Service (SAWS) predicted and what locals often experience in spring or even winter, for that matter.
“Clerksdorp flooded Heartbreak, so much damage, so many homes damaged, roofs collapsed, including the Matlosana Mall, many stores in the mall flooded.”
