Rain?

[A Mum]

just slowly starting down here and im not far from colonnades

big heavy rain drops, but not a lot of it

I was just looking out the window too - they are huge rain drops -
Really weird though, like hard to explain but almost a rulers length - half a length between the drops

Looks funny !!

Brace yourself MT79 - we're about to 'cop it'

I think the radar at Buckland Park lies to us. It overstates what we ar supposed to be getting.
The Sellicks Hill radar seems to be closer to reality than BPark

You're right - I just look at the other and it says much worse

How much can the metro area take in one winter?

This must be ( with out looking into Spelly's spreadsheets ) one of the wettest winters in memory. Not only have we had decent falls but like today we have had sustained soakings that have gone on for hours at a time. Just hope the people who need it in the country are having some come thier way.

My rainwater tanks ( 3 x 3000ltrs ) are full and over flowing as we speak.

Lucky the City of Salisbury has some of the most innovate stormwater harvesting and aquifer storage and recovery systems in the Southern Hemisphere then huh

Just had some massive hail stones fall here in Victor!

I'm so envious of all you people who get lots of rain. In Berri, we get bugger all. Hopefully we can get a bit tonight.

You did get 32mm in the past week though. Berri is a fair way inland and Berri is blocked by the Ranges from most of what Adelaide gets from the West.

not much here in Port Augusta either, although after last week where it was 46 on wed and thurs we then had 50mm of rain on fri and sat nights, about 1/5th of Port Augustas annual rainfall

Boy tells of being swept down raging creekArticle from: Font size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print Submit comment: Submit comment AARON MacDONALD

A YOUNG Elizabeth boy had a terrifying near-death ordeal amidst raging storms and heavy rain across the state tonight.

The boy staggered into Elizabeth Police Station just after 8pm last night dishevelled, wet and cold and suffering from shock and minor injuries.

He told police that he had fallen into a creek running through Argana Park in Elizabeth Downs, and been swept away by the fast-flowing current.

He was unable to pull himself from the waters, and was swept along for a terrifying two kilometres before finally hauling himself from the frigid waters near Winterslow Bridge on Winterslow Rd.

He walked to nearby Elizabeth Police Station and presented himself to astonished police before being rushed in an ambulance to Lyell McEwin Hospital.

While the weather bureau has cancelled the urgent warnings it issued for the Adelaide region earlier this afternoon, warnings are still in place for the South East.

Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce damaging winds in excess of 90 km/h in the warning area this evening. Large hailstones are also possible. Locations which may be affected include Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Bordertown and Lucindale.

The bureau advises that rain is likely to return to Adelaide later tonight as stormy weather which is current lashing the Eyre Peninsula moves over the city. Rain will continue in the agricultural districts for at least 24 hours.

Poor kid - wonder how old he is

It would have been due to this downpour I think that the creeks were swollen like that.


By the way, I'm sure some of you will enjoy this site - the Adelaide Radars go back to 2005.
