The dark, heavy storm clouds could be seen travelling from Durban towards the Dolphin Coast.
Numerous trees were blown over and parts of the roof at Linc church in Salt Rock were ripped off by the wind.
A tree fell over onto the N2 just before the Umhlali turn-off north bound that was obstructing the road.
Another huge tree has been flung across Marion Place blocking the road, directly round a corner.

The fire department is removing it.
A vehicle also lost its trailer on the off-ramp at Umhlali.
You are advised to keep your cars undercover should there be any further hail.
Hail is a rare occurrence on the Dolphin Coast with the last major storm being over a year ago at Isithebe.
