RE: At last, I got one.

Turns out not to be a Horse-fly, as the eyes are different. It is an African Hummingbird Hawk-moth of all things. A friend sent the ID to me, and I had to edit the post.

We seem to have same times for the power cuts, 6am-8am and we also had the 2pm-4pm, Our 3rd one today will be at 10-12pm.

Hope that your Sunday is also good and all the best for the new week.

Oh boy it looked familiar I wrote about the Pellucid Hawk Moth after seeing one in our garden. Aren't they stunning to see.

Power cut, well just back online now once again, driving everyone crazy. Heat during the day with storms each night of late, flooding and calamity! Gods must be crazy, flinging all their furniture around upstairs!

40mm in an hour, was worse night before.... Sitting with Woody through the storm while everyone else was sleeping 🙃 !LOLZ

Yep! I had a look at your post of 3 years ago, and that is also a beautiful hawk moth.

We saw some photos of the floods in KZN and it's very bad. Especially as the repairs from that last year flood, or was it the year before, has still not been completed. All of the northern beaches have also been closed.
Sad for you and Woody, but just hang in there, and at least everyone else were safe and sleeping. But they will awake in shock in the morning 🙏 !LOLZ

Repairs never get done, train bridge still not repaired over Illovo river, sewerage in rivers ongoing, electricity not working, place is still a mess! Thanks ANC....

More rain over next couple of days predicted,more people to try assist with nothing once again.

Terribly slow, and quick fixes are not going to work. Up north, we had a burst pipe that had be repaired every few weeks. They come and fix, only for it to burst in the same place again. Eventually it just became a big hole that was left open for future quick repairs.

Yeah, we saw, and it strikes you guys very badly. Suffering is always bad in the low lying areas.

Stage 5 definitely called right for today, deluge on and off safer to stay off the roads.

Stage 5? We are in stage 1 and will go into stage 3 at 10pm tonight. Right, as the roads are not the place to be in weather like that.

Level 5 watershedding from above, stage 3 loadshedding from powers than not be! 🙃
