Favour to ask
Nov. 8th, 2005 11:22 pmCan people keep their eyes and ears open for information about a flood in Adelaide? I've just heard off the late news that the River Torrens has broken it's banks, but I can't seem to find any information about it. As many of you will know I'm an Adelaide boy, and I have more than a few family members in the area.
I've been told that the flood is mainly affecting the northern suburbs of Adelaide, but other than that, I got nothing. The most I've found is on Channel 10's website, saying that (and I quote) "Record rainfall hits Adelaide causing widespread flooding." That's it.
Now, logic would state that seeing as there's so little information, it's unlikely that it's anything really major... But I'd like to at least know what's going on, since I only caught the tail end of the news segment.
Anyone?
Edit: Okay, never mind - after a large deal of searching, I found information at (of all places) the Channel 7 News site. Apparently there was some newsworthiness in the traditional Christmas Display on the River Torrens being swept away (and the fibreglass Moby Dick being the highlight). It doesn't seem to be anything really major, though it does look like it hit a few areas where my family resides (Blackwood in the hills being the main one). So, nothing major, it seems...
