Monday 19th March 2007, Durban South Africa

Due to extreme weather conditions, a culmination of the highest astronomical tide as a result of the alignment of the sun, moon and earth and a cyclone around the coast of Madagascar, Durban has been experiencing unusually high tides and damage has been experienced all along the coastline, with Umdloti being the worst hit. On Monday, a huge tidal wave of up to six metres in height hit the Durban beachfront, causing immense infrastructural damage along the coast.
