Just a few weeks ago we were riding on Table Mountain and I was commenting on how green it was for that time of year. A few scorching weeks later and the grass was brown and dry and the winds were starting to pick up as is normal for this time of year.
Unfortunately last Thursday night, a fire broke out below Rhodes Memorial and winds quickly fanned it into a horrific scene of destruction. The photos on various blog sites show the magnitude of the area burnt.
