Mother Nature shows us who's boss

Often we only think of the crazy weather that has hit our country in terms of our own discomforts. Yes, it has disrupted our routines and flooded the streets of Grahamstown, but there are far more serious things to consider. Port Elizabeth has been hit hard by flash floods that have wrecked houses, cars and caused hundreds of people to evacuate their houses and take shelter in community halls and police stations. A number of people are missing, some feared dead and at least two people have died from flood related incidents. It is during natural disasters like this that we are shown exactly who is in control, and how little power we have against the natural elements. I am sure that there will be thousands of stories that surface over the next couple of days, of casualties, houses being washed away, people suffering. If you have a warm bed to climb into at night and can listen to the howling wind from behind the safety of four walls, then consider yourself lucky, and spare a thought for those who aren’t.
