Floods threaten Overberg
21/11/2007 13:03 - (SA)
Johannesburg - Three families were evacuated from their homes in Caledon early on Wednesday morning as heavy rains flooded parts of the Overberg, a district municipality official said.
Greyton was also being monitored closely amid fears that houses there too might become submerged, Reinard Geldenhuys said.
Rescue workers were being mobilised and contingency plans put in place.
The R43 between Hermanus and Stanford was closed, as were smaller roads in the Malgas area.
Reinard said weather forecasters had predicted more rain in the coming hours.
