00:00 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.
