WATCH: Cape of Storms goes viral on social media

Cape Town's wet weather has gone viral.

"The Cape storms flooded social media," said Primedia+ Digital Content Editor Barbara Friedman on CapeTalk. "There were obvious areas that were vulnerable, like Du Noon. The videos are heartbreaking to see... But we know a lot of those informal settlements aren't always built in the best places. They're often in low-lying areas, and the flooding is worse there."

She said it was also quite unusual to see flooding in the higher lying areas. "I saw some crazy videos in the Southern Suburbs of roads turning into rivers. And then, of course, Kalk Bay and Simon's Town; I think it's particularly eye-catching to see the very high levels of water along those roads. I know they had to divert traffic in Simon's Town to go up Soldier's Way because that one area was completely flooded.

"And then another quite startling one was seeing that, and I'm probably going to get this wrong, it's like a railway pylon or electricity pole between Kalk Bay and St James that has almost fallen over. They were warning people to stay away."

People were also commenting on the Sixty60 drivers who were out on their motorbikes.

"On a lighter note, before you all come at me," Friedman said. "The Stellenbosch students took this to a lighter level because that's what students have been doing for time immemorial."

Friedman explained that there were a couple of guys who had little boards that were tied to a car, and they jumped into the rivers that had formed in the main roads, and they were skiing behind the car.

"A lot of other students were standing on the side of the road filming them and making jokes, as students do."
