Bit of sweeping water away from the main shed
Then in ankle deep water bailing it from getting into a little shed out the back.

I have two very very large branches from a bottlebrush trees and a medium sized other tree down.

Full day on the chainsaw tomorrow

I’ve seen some wild weather in my years however today at Victor I reckon takes the cake. I worked the Pt Elliot Show and they had more than 3 inches in under 4 hours. Victor Harbor Rd was like Armageddon at 4:30 this afternoon - Flash floods across the road from creeks, small land slides, trees down and thick fog with lightning. The pics of Victor Harbor GC were astounding….

Our deck, which is an L shaped arrangement got drenched, which in 20 years of being here I've never seen. I've never seen it even half wet before.

I think my sons cricket season will be decided a some strange event this season. One win might make finals!

I've never experienced wind like that before.
Drove from Daw Park to Campbelltown & there's trees down everywhere, still several suburbs with no power.

Still no power on the farm here at Kainton… 11:30 til now is a fair time to have power out. Time to crank the bbq to cook tea as I’ve given up waiting for the power to come back on. 3rd world type of set up here. Got ute by the house just to charge my phone, crazy!

Any crop damage up there?

Fortunately the rough seas parted and the worst of it went North or South of us here at Kainton. If you can believe it we have only had 9mm all up so far so compared to what has happened around the state we have got away lightly.

Kennards Hire, no power, had 40 people lined up this morning.

We had water coming through light fittings, side fence blown down, no power since 4pm yesterday.

Still no power, been nearly 24 hours now. Everything in fridge is warm

we got 75ml in 30 minutes.....

2 kids bedrooms and shed shin deep under water.....

No power in Spalding until 3:30pm today, was meant to be 5:30am but that got extended. All our hot water, oven, stove is on electricity. No internet either in entire town.

In Clare at moment to charge up phones laptop get edible food etc then back home to do more cleanup.

That sounds exactly like us. We can’t even have a David Gower as house is on rain water via a Davey pump. I’m working on 1 bar of 3G as our booster won’t work with power.

Yeah not good. Entire crops shredded to pieces by the hail apparently, but they can claim on insurances. Life could be worse however. No one was hurt

Blackwood/Coro/Flagstaff Is an absolute mess

worlds coming to an end

Was at my brothers at Aldinga, around 3pm it was extreme to say the least.

Got home around 4:30 and you wouldn't have known it had rained.

We had 2 inch high water all around the house as the drains couldnt cope, had to shut off the spa isolator and sweep water for about 45 mins solid. Didnt get in the house thankfully.

Was a deadset mini tornado here (Morphett Vale)- rain came in from all 3 sides of the verandah.

At least we only had 3 mini power outages, nothing significant. Hear Craigburn may not have power til the 19th!!

This weather can **** right off.
