We've had some really wild weather overnight and into this morning and even continuing
00:06
now. Adelaide received 25 to 35 millimetres of rain overnight and into a southern area
00:13
of the city, Brownhill Creek, 45 millimetres of rain. Streets were flooded, roundabouts
00:20
were flooded. It was very deceiving but as soon as your car went through that water,
00:24
the water just went all over your car and it was getting a little bit dangerous there.
00:30
So the houses that were backing onto Brownhill Creek, many of those backyards flooded. People
00:38
woke up to water in their backyards essentially and were trying to push it out with brooms
00:42
and with rakes there too. State emergency services received around 170 calls up until
00:51
9am this morning and as I said before, those homes by Brownhill Creek were flooded as the
00:57
creek backed onto them. Other homes in Adelaide South have also been flooded, for example
01:02
here in Forestville. Just behind me on 3rd Avenue, this street was blocked off initially
01:07
as the water had reached mid-tyre height on the cars parked here. There were streets that
01:13
had some of the traffic redirected into one lane as the driveways on the left-hand side
01:17
of the road had all flooded. The rain did stop for a little while but it has come back
01:22
and it is expected to move south and west of Adelaide. So some people will be dealing
01:27
with the clean-up, putting sandbags out. We saw some people putting mulch out in front
01:31
of their houses. Other people will be bracing themselves for further wet weather.
