## Resource

Johannesburg is in the grip of a severe weather emergency with trees crashing down, blocking major roads and highways, and emergency crews scrambling to clear debris as a Level 5 storm warning hits Gauteng—expect flooding, hail, lightning, and powerful winds. Police urge extreme caution on wet, hazardous roads, with key routes like Church Street, Beatrice Street, and M1 access points completely obstructed. Drivers are told to find alternate routes, increase stopping distances, keep headlights on, and avoid flooded areas. Authorities recommend staying home if possible, especially as the storm threatens to disrupt today’s big rugby match. Report fallen trees or flooding immediately using official hotlines.
