Welcome to my disaster channel. A very severe flood affected the African continent on April 11, 2022. Happy viewing.
Flooding in Durban, South Africa was caused by heavy rains that did not subside for more than 10 days.
It happened in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal, where many people still have not moved away from the elements.
Some in the city of Durban stand on rooftops waiting for help, but local media reports that only one helicopter is available to evacuate people.
The main roads of the city are blocked, and landslides have destroyed many houses.
More rain is expected in southern KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday, according to the South African Weather Service, which advises citizens to stay away from flooded roads and bridges.
Major highways connecting South Africa’s largest port to the commercial hub of Johannesburg and its east coast have been closed due to severe flooding.
Bridges on the N2, the main highway along the Indian Ocean National Coast, were washed away, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
Local media reports showed videos and images of shipping containers marked AP Moller-Maersk A/S drifting through the water.
Severe weather conditions are expected to continue today” in the areas around the municipality of Etekwini, which includes the city of Durban.
This year, South Africa is experiencing the La Niña weather phenomenon, which usually causes excess rainfall in the country and its neighbors.
January saw the heaviest rainfall in many parts of the country since area tracking began in 1921.
Transnet S.O.C Ltd. , the Durban Port Authority, declined to comment and said it would make a statement later on Tuesday.
Rescue teams have deployed throughout the city and its outskirts, rescuing people stranded on rooftops and trapped under tons of sand and rubble after houses were washed away.
Disaster response teams have already responded to a number of incidents, including the collapse of a wall in Etekwini.
Inclement weather over the weekend has increased the risk of localized flooding across the province as heavy rains continue.
The latest Level 5 weather alert from the South African Meteorological Service indicates that heavy rainfall will continue tonight in major parts of the province, especially in the eastern parts.
Residents living in low-lying areas are urged to seek shelter in higher ground as heavy heavy rains are expected to cause even more localized flooding.

It only rained for 4 days before the floods engulfed the area. Most rain fell on Monday the 11th
Das ist erst der Anfang. Das Karma kommt noch viel schlimmer auf die Menschheit zurück.
Its serious flooding, worst we have had but africas not going under water, like you say it is in your headline, and dont be an asshole and say happy viewing to the tragedies.
Difficult to see what's going on you shot most of the video on 1/3 frame. There should be a law against shooting videos on anything less than full frame.
Some of this is not true. It did not rain for 10 days and you have the prime ministers name wrong
You forgot to add South before the Africa in your title.
Lord have mercy
QUE LAS MISERICORDIAS DE DIOS LES AYUDEN ORAR VOLVERNOS A DIOS LEER PROMESAS DE DIOS ORAR
Moyongcwele 😭
If this would have happened in Mauritius, the media and the opposition political parties would have blamed the ruling party for incompetence and not taking appropriate action to prevent such disasters . Government would have been held responsible for inaction by the demagogues who want to score political points.
U Americans make out we are super under privileged, we only have 1 helicopter available hahahaha. We also share 1 loaf of bread between families and our transport is horse and carriage
Esto es falso
Pretty scary, stay safe people. Sad, I used to live there. It's horrific. Sending prayers from New Zealand
Thanks God We are still a life
I live in Durban and while we have had extreme flooding and tragic loss of life, the thumbnail is just BS.
🇿🇦🇧🇩 It's is very Painful Situation was Durban People
"Happy" viewing? 🤔😳 That is terrifying!! It's called Gods judgment!! Happening in nations all over the world. These are wake up calls! To repent, stop sinning…before God releases his wrath next, for not obeying his Word!! Deuteronomy 8:20 kjv, Isaiah 60:12kjv , Jeremiah 12:17 kjv, Proverbs 14:34 kjv
Where the hell is SANDF????
climate change is real, and we are all to blame. Here in British Columbia we deal with deadly massive fires and catastrophic flooding due to our behaviour.
Please get your facts straight….
South Africa: only one helicopter available to evacuate people. ANC cunts!
See stop drilling …….building…….digging……..bulldozing…….and many more hard labour……..ALL over the world…….
God put the Earth……..on the Water…….for the people to live on …….peacefully…….with their own people……see All women shut your legs…..and All you men…….leave them alone …….but if you want more flooding……then be ready…….the best is yet to come……Hes Powerful……..kind and fair and He does what’s right on Earth
I wouldn't call it happy viewing – I rather feel sorry for them.
haarp and chemtrails. its not normal, its political. why? they want to kill and destroy us.
Beautiful port city of South Africa. No catastrophe during pre-apartheid of Pieter W. Botha. Now a black leader succeeding another black leader, the situation is deteriorating slowly. Unemployment is widespread because white Dutch settlers are pulling out of their investment.The world has no mercy of their plights
