Flooding crisis across SE Australia as major storm system moves offshore

Parts of South Eastern Australia are facing a major flooding crisis in the wake of an intense low-pressure system that has wrecked havoc across parts of Southern and South-Eastern Australia.

 

Over 110mm fell across the Mt Lofty Ranges region in SA with a major flooding crisis unfolding throughout the Gawler region north of Adelaide.

 

Heavy rain has also plagued Tasmania with a family forced to be evacuated by helicopter.

 

Heavy rain and strong wind gusts has also lashed New South Wales and Victoria with conditions set to ease throughout Sunday.

 

South Australia is not out of the firing line yet as a new frontal system will bring blustery conditions to WA over the weekend and move into SA early next week.
