Cape Town wind storm blows over truck in traffic
I saw this on my way to get coffee this morning - a truck was literally blown over by the wind in the Cape Town CBD in this morning's wind storm. I was almost swept off my feet by the wind a couple of times while trying to take these!
The wind got so bad that Firemen were helping people to cross the road.
