Thousands homeless after Port Elizabeth floods
Rescue workers estimate that some two thousand people have been left homeless following the massive rain storm that virtually brought Port Elizabeth to a standstill on Tuesday.
Serious damage was caused as flood waters streamed through buildings and dozens of people had to be rescued from stranded cars and homes.
Reports say hundreds of frantic residents had to evacuate their homes as the water kept rising. The more than two thousand residents who fled to safety were given shelter by family and friends. They were also offered shelter in community halls, police stations, school halls and the Red Cross and Missionvale care centres.
