Massive waves wrecked havoc across the southern coast of South Africa (video from Harold’s bay) yesterday as a result of spring high tide combining with storm surge – damage in many local coastal towns!

Among the victims was a 93-year-old woman who was injured when a wave swept through a parking lot in the Wilderness area on the country’s south coast, although the National Marine Rescue Institute said her death may have been of natural causes after she was taken to hospital.
