00:02It was all hands on deck as the Padua Lunga at Glenelg began to swell.
00:08A flood advice message was issued on Thursday afternoon, later downgraded as water levels began to drop.
00:15We had an unusually high tide which meant that with the rain event that happened we had a lot of
00:21water coming into the system.
00:23Council workers today clearing away the last of the debris.
00:28The deluge flooded creeks and caused property damage, with the SES responding to more than 430 call outs.
00:36The majority of those were tree down, they were around about 200 and the rest were sort of flooding salvage
00:42and some minor flooding and severe weather.
00:45They also rescued a man who drove through a closed flooded road on the Fleurieu Peninsula, becoming stranded as the
00:52water rose, shutting down the car's engine.
00:54Our swift water technicians have affected a rescue by waiting out over 100 metres to retrieve that person and they
01:02were brought back safely.
01:03This roof plumber's been inundated.
01:05Started off with about four missed calls before I even got out of bed and then while I'm working the
01:11phone just kept ringing like every 10 minutes.
01:13The week ahead is looking much less wet in a welcome reprieve for those who've been on the front line
01:18of clean up efforts over the last few days.
01:21Our teams will be happy for the respite, they've been working around the clock for the last 48 hours.
01:26A relentless task to get back to business as usual.
01:30Wow
