SAWDOS: The weather warnings for the Eastern Cape does not make sense. Either a section has been left out (1.) or the numbering is faulty. The numbering jumps from 3. to 2. What happened to 1.? More and more mistakes in severe weather warnings and they want to be the only authoritative organization to issue weather warnings in South Africa? If so then get the weather warnings correct, please!!
