Copped a bit in the early hours of tuesday morning, not much rain but a thunder rumble that seems to go on forever.

Well it shook the living hell out of my house and the dog was hiding under the bed! Not to much rain not fond of helping the SES boys do storm damage and sand bagging they can keep it! Even at those jobs when your the OIC you cant hide from the march of the sand bags!

SES SCC went active during the night as a precaution.

Advertiser newspaper reported two cars swept away near Cleve. Only 10mm in Adelaide.

It would seem that majority of the storm affected Eyre Peninsula before slipping south to the Limestone Coast area.

I could not attend the callout, so do not know any detail.

Got flash blinded and nearly crashed my car on the way home from training on Monday night when a bolt struck a couple hundred metres in front of me, and as for my dog well i've never seen a 50kg labrador shake so much in my life :lol:
