July has been wet… and cold.  Over the last few weeks we’ve had a lot of rain in Port Elizabeth and last weekend the Baakens River broke it’s banks again in the lower valley as it often does after this kind of rain.  Check out the video by the Herald showing the water right up to the buildings on Lower Valley Road.
