Heavy Rain cause flooding in parts of the Garden Route Area (21 - 22 November 2021)

Heavy rain and extensive flooding is causing road closures and other issues across the Garden Route Area.  The GRHub Network is now in Severe Weather Mode.   Please do not use the Network for normal chatting or rag-chewing.  The GRHub Network is now available for emergency communications should  there be a need.  VHF Frequency: 145.550 Mhz Simplex. The Reboot Zello Channel is also active and I made contact with Saney ZR1S in the Wilderness area to esquire if they need any assistance in the area.  Currently there is no need but the situation could change if more rain falls in that area.  He will contact Casey ZS1AAS to find out if they are in need of assistance.  The Garden Route Hub Network Twitter account is also active with photos of flooding in the area.
