Post by: judydawn on November 03, 2015, 11:40:35 pm: It seems country areas fared the worst Trudy, it was very mild here.They say there's more for tonight so it will be interesting to see which areas cop that.

I'm glad you didn't get the rain the radar showed as it looked extremely heavy.

Post by: trudy on November 04, 2015, 08:22:28 am: They had three inches of rain in Pirie Jean and it's still raining. I feel sorry for the farmers as so many crops were ready to harvest. They now won't get the returns they should. Mum just had one leak in a verandah - another job for Wayne!!! Port Lincoln had quite a bit of flooding and they are expecting the river to flood in Murray Bridge. Strange for this part of the year.

Post by: cookie1 on November 05, 2015, 11:14:52 am: Oh no kmw, that's awful. Rain at harvest time is the pits.

I see where Melbourne and lots of Victoria have had heaps of rain. In today's paper here we had farms with dams that are dry, not good. Just before FF a group of farms in a different part of the state lost their crops with hail. Farming is hard enough without the weather going against you.

What a lovely way to put it.
