Did anyone see the amount of rain in South Australia on Monday? It was unbelievable. Here are some pics that my grandfather took on his way to work
  Anyone else notice the XA in the first pic? Makes me sad that people treat them like that. How about that guy SWIMMING in the second pic, that is meant to be a road!! |

The national highways were actually closed for about 3 days around this area. One of the roads now has a creek running through it about a metre deeper then where the bitumen used to be.

yeah I saw this all on the news. absolutely phenomonal. we need more ongoing rain for the farmers and the water levels for catchments areas. It has given us some much needed releif, but we are far from getting comfortable again.
