Flooding in Melkbosstrand has seen locals reacted to the Cape’s crazy weather in all kinds of ways. Two Capetonians shared footage of the heavy rains, with the first captioned, “Need I say more…” portraying cars practically floating on canals to their destination. Cruise control?
The second video shows Melkbosstrand local surfer, Todd Blakeley (TikTok @toddy_b) surfing on the road’s waves. He cruises so casually too, as if it were his usual way of getting to wherever he needs to go. An inconvenience or an opportunity for adventure? 18 year old Blakeley’s take on things definitely seems to be the epitome of going with the flow, and we love to see it.

Meanwhile, we’re pretty sure this isn’t the ‘sinking’ golfers were hoping for at Strand today.
