Namibia: heavy rains cause damages

Cloudbursts in the Central and north-western parts of Namibia where rains of 100 mm and more were recorded, caused extensive damage in Uis early Wednesday evening, when more than 50mm rain fell in less than an hour for a second consecutive day. A number of vehicles got stuck in and around Uis due to flooded areas. A number of residents like Basil Calitz  and Louis Geldenhuys assisted to get the vehicles out of the mud, as can been seen in the inset photo on the left that was taken at the Kat River. A deluge hit Karibib causing extensive damage to already challenged infrastructure (Photo: Basil Calitz).
