The SES has responded to 240 calls for help and has issued a Watch & Act:
A Watch and Act Message has been issued for Waterfall Gully Road between Waterfall Terrace and the Waterfall Gully Car Park due to flooding, with the road closed. A Flood Advice Message remains current for Swamp Road at Lenswood after a private dam spillway overtopped, resulting in localised flooding. Road closures are in place around Swamp Road. There is also flooding near the Hahndorf exit of the South Eastern Freeway on Mount Barker Road at Verdun. Members of the public are advised to avoid these areas and check traffic.sa.gov.au for updates.
SASES volunteers also responded to seven separate swift water rescues as people became trapped in fast rising flood water.
With the possibility of additional roads still being impacted by floodwater or debris throughout the morning, SASES are urging motorists to drive to the conditions. The public is advised that is never safe to walk, ride or drive through flood waters, and to adhere to signs advising that roads are closed.
