more spring tides....

Continuing our coverage of the spring day havok, the section of the Settlers freeway that runs past Sidon street towards Albany road also took a pounding. Even after the waves had eased up a bit, they were pretty impressive.

These are the main railway lines that feed Port Elizabeth, an as you can see it may be a while before normal services resume!

A huge concrete section of the breakwater wall was tossed onto the tracks like a lego block by the force of the waves.

  1. Those are some impressive looking waves! They sure make for excellent pictures. It's been many years since I've been to PE, so I'm sure the waterfront has changed tons, but I hope the boardwalk survived the storm intact.

  4. The first photo is the best one to show the size and force of the waves.

  5. Very impressive photos! We can almost feel the strength of the sea!... Gladly, as I heard, it seems the worst is gone, right?
