Weather !

I have been following the Adelaide emergency updates on a facebook group. I hope everyone is ok and properties are ok. Stay safe folks.

Its been pretty soggy thats for sure. We are up in the hills and all of the creeks pretty much burst their banks and roads were flooded, blocked and detours in place.

 

And we had a couple of dry days and things just started to dry up and another wet front is meant to hit today. Warnings issued.

 

The CFS and the MFS and the SA Police news are the ones I follow on FB for news and alerts about this sort of thing. And have aps for my phone to get updates etc. All worthwhile once living here, CFS especially if you live in a high risk fire area.

My daughter lives down on River Road (that says it all!) in Port Noarlunga and we went down to take a look after warnings issues for the Onkaparinga river breaking it's banks.

Have never seen anything like it in the past 9 years...almost to the top of the bank. If it had coincided with a king tide the entire area would have been flooded...and there's no insurance for tides.

I also live on a River road. Its been a dry creek for years but is flowing strong now and burst its banks on Thursday. Thankfully its receeded a bit now. Hopefully no more heavy rain to come!
