4wds save the day

I'm in Whyalla Michael. everyone says 1986 was the last time the streets were flooded like they were last night. I would have thought Jamestown was at risk of flooding because of the creek going straight through the middle of the town.

My missus can't get home because the Whyalla/pt augusta road is closed. She told me Hawker had 7 inches and the dam is close to bursting.

By the way the new assistant nursing manager in Jamestown hospital a bloke by the name of Daryl Stephens is from Whyalla and he's a good bloke. You or your family may come into contact with him at some stage.

The missus tells me she has measured 100mm in Peterborough!!!!

Only 42mm here at the homestead but too wet to walk so drive everywhere...lol

Barnesy,

Used to own a motel in Whyalla, glad I'm not there now........mum lives in Whyalla Norrie, s'pose I'd better give her a bell.....make sure she ain't washed away......

Will ask about Daryl, hope we meet him socially only;)))))))

Willem,

We have had about 85 - 100mm here, depends who you speak to.. lol lol

No real problems tho'

Still, even house numbers tonite so will water anyway from 8pm - 11pm......LOL LOL

Must be pretty soggy where you are I guess,,,,,,give those tyres a good work out..

How much longer will you be up there, assuming you don't get flooded......might have to arrange a food and 'white lightning' drop;)))))))))

Take care
Catch you later
Cheers
Michael

You have some White Lightning?...........That'll do, forget the food.

Probably get away here by Wednesday if the roads open soon. Think there is some serious road damage on the way to Hawker. Clear skies this evening so rain may be over for the time being.

Cheers

Told today that the Hawker - Orroroo road is closed, how bad not sure.

Should be OK by Wed tho'.....provided we don't get too much more.

Stay dry Willem.

Cheers
