UPDATE, 9:25am: More than 30,000 properties across Adelaide are currently without power.
By 9:20am this morning there were 82 outages and 120 reports of power lines down since 3am after strong winds ripped through the outer metro and foothills.
According to SAPN:
Crews are working to safely restore power as soon as possible. Crews from our regional depots have also been brought in to assist.
We have extra inspectors out assessing the damage, and vegetation crews to cut back fallen branches and trees, as well as support in logistics and inventory.
For now, it is difficult to estimate the power restoration times in each area as it is likely there are multiple faults impacting the power supply.
The vast majority of planned maintenance has been cancelled for Adelaide area. Any jobs still proceeding are critical.
