Weather warning via SA Police News and Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology, take care on our roads today. A severe weather warning issued by the Bureau of Meteorology earlier today has been extended to cover metropolitan Adelaide. The bureau has warned there may be damaging winds in the city as well as the Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower South East and parts of the Mid North, Murraylands and Upper South East. Ahead of the severe weather, the SES advises the following precautions: • ensure loose items such as outdoor furniture, garden tools and children’s play equipment (such as trampolines and cubby houses) are put away or secured • park vehicles undercover and away from trees • stay indoors and away from windows and skylights when weather conditions are severe • stay away from fallen powerlines (always assume fallen powerlines are live – they should be reported to SA Power Networks on 13 13 66) • never walk, ride or drive through floodwaters • shelter and secure pets and other animals, and • check weather forecasts regularly and listen to local radio for updates. Similarly, police advise motorists to take care and drive to the conditions. Give yourself plenty of space between your vehicle and the one in front of you and take your time so that you arrive at your destination safely. bom.gov.au/products/IDS65503.shtml
