I have never seen Hail like this in #Durban. Seen plenty in Joburg in the past but here, never. Large stones had my animals really spooked. Raining really heavily now! #hailstorm #durbanhail pic.twitter.com/A086jB7rzb

Stacey and J Sbu have some tips for you on how to stay safe in severe weather conditions. Have a look below:
- GET IN - If you are outside, get inside. If you're already inside, get as far into the middle of the building as possible.
- GET DOWN - Get underground if possible. If you cannot, go to the lowest floor possible.
- COVER UP - Flying and falling debris are a storm's number one killer. Use pillows, blankets, coats, helmets, etc to cover up and protect your head and body from flying debris.
