Weather warfare at its best! South Africa Floods kills at least 350 following unprecedented rainstorms (videos and pictures)

Heavy rains and flooding battered the eastern coast of South Africa on Wednesday, killing at least 350 people, damaging roads and destroying homes.

The tragedy marked “one of the darkest moments in the history” of the KwaZulu-Natal province.

The flooding hit KwaZulu-Natal, which includes the coastal city of Durban. Roads cracked and gave way to deep fissures, and a huge stack of shipping containers collapsed into muddy waters, news agency images show.

A bridge near Durban was swept away, leaving people stranded on either side.

“Many people lost their lives with Ethekwini (Durban metro) alone reporting 45 so far,” while in iLembe district “more than 14 are reported to have tragically lost their lives,” the provincial government said in a statement.

It said the disaster “wreaked untold havoc and unleashed massive damage to lives and infrastructure” affecting all races and social classes from rural areas, townships to luxury estates.

Using my personally designed Media Math Generator I’m pretty sure the number of people who died is more like 70. Usually numbers are inflated by a factor of 6. And of that 70 at least 25 were accidents only tangentially related to the flooding. And at least 7 were people who were already dying in hospitals.

"Weather warfare?" or more "Climate BS"

Aerial coverage; "Devastation"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWdC2KPD-tk

"This is a result of the greed for wealth by property developers. Poor environmental assessment by so called brilliant engineers and architects"

This is just stupidity; more woke victims. Look at Mariupol, Ukraine, if you want to see "Devastation".
