A powerful afternoon storm swept through Buhleni and surrounding areas today, leaving a path of destruction that residents are still trying to assess. The storm, which struck with little warning, brought strong winds and heavy rainfall that caused significant damage to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure.
Early reports indicate that several properties suffered roof damage, with some homes partially flooded as drainage systems struggled to cope with the sudden downpour. Local shop owners described scenes of chaos as the storm ripped through the area, forcing some businesses to close early for safety.
In one of the most alarming incidents, three vehicles were reportedly crushed by falling trees as the storm uprooted large branches and sent debris flying across roads and residential yards. Fortunately, no injuries have been confirmed so far, but emergency teams remain on high alert as they work to clear blocked roads and ensure public safety.
Authorities are currently gathering information to determine the full extent of the damage, and residents are urged to remain cautious as cleanup efforts continue. Power outages have also been reported in parts of Buhleni, with technicians dispatched to restore electricity where possible.
More updates will be provided as additional details become available.
