No rain in SA has ever raised the level of water in the River Murray. Well maybe by 1mm. The wind does more.
Most water falls on the other side of the ranges.
Put your togs on just in case it's 40 days & 40 nights.
Good morning daily

Re: Good morning daily
Did you watch last nights news on 9? This time, the rain is coming down from the centre, not up from the coast .....
I caught a you tube link to it just as I was heading for bed ..... there has been a lot of water fallen up state ...... The prediction is for 80mm in Adelaide in 24 hrs starting sometime Sunday ..... that is unheard of for Adelaide. Add what will run off from the hills, Adelaide is not the place to be this weekend
At least the Mannum Waterfall will be worth seeing for a while

What is the betting there will be some photos of the River Torrens trash trap?
Every time there is a bit of a downpour the trash trap gets overwhelmed.

Re: Good morning daily
No doubt, I'd imagine a lot will get washed into the river as well making the clean out an on going event for a week or so .....
It will be an interesting test for the new Mannum storm water system with the big heavy flap valve/gates designed to stay closed if the river is high enough to put that much pressure on them, and the big rubbish filter pipe structures, will they block from the inside out, or the outside in
If it comes down like they are predicting, it will be a wheel barrow and shovel job bringing the yard and driveway gravel back from the spoon drain that runs down to opposite Mannum Green IGA and the dirt where the house was will probably head off down the driveway and across the lawn, headed for the river ..... it's shaping up to be an eventful weekend here in Mannum ....
The MG4 charger is in a spot on the truck tyre Jon, if the water gets high enough to cause issues this time, the MG charger will be the least of our worries, I very much doubt the Winnie floats
Hope the water level doesn't get too high on Brian's houseboat
I'm not sure he has a Plimsoll Line marked on the hull ......T1 Terry
