Floods November 2008

It started raining on Monday morning ( the 10th November) and finally stopped on Friday morning.Most damage was to the gravel roads.The storm water drains couldn't cope with the flow of water and the roads became rivers. Some roads have wash aways almost a meter deep. Luckily there wasnt much damage to homes as the Gobos river managed to cope with the all the run-off.However if the Gobos had burst it's banks or if it had rained harder for a few hours, then there would have been serious damage to low lying homes.
