Don’t do this with your drone. The OTUS Project have permission, ability and money.
You have none of these things
You don’t even have a tornado.
They’re gathering data to help build better buildings and – hopefully – help to save lives in tornado country.
This was actually a little underwhelming. But I’m going to keep an eye on their channel as they get better and braver, and start to take on bigger twisters.
Look out! Naughty language below!
The SA weather was all over the place yesterday. Floods in KZN, snow in the Eastern Cape and the Free State and a postponed 5-a-side game here in Cape Town.
I know. Tragic, ne?
Tembisa took the gold medal though, with a tornado – much shared on social media – which… er… damaged the local mall. In fact, it was actually a bit worse than that. Let me hand you over to spokesperson Godfrey Mashakgomo to give you the full synopsis:
Best. Spokesperson. Ever.
Not “There’s some damage that we’ll need to assess”, not “We’ve lost some roof panels on the western side of the building, but fortunately no-one was seriously injured”.
No. Godfrey went with: “The whole mall is fucked up.”
All of it.
Five stars for Godfrey telling it like it is. And please, more of this blunt honesty from spokespeople in the future.
