South Australians have been forced to batten down the hatches as wind gusts of more than 100 kilometres per hour strike most of the state. Preceded and succeeded by heavy rains and hail, residents across SA have suffered damage to buildings, vehicles and roads. The storm has claimed one life, with a 71-year-old Tungkillo man being killed by a falling tree on Monday, July 11. Wind gusts in excess of 100 km/h have so far been recorded at Naracoorte and Keith (104 km/h), Stenhouse Bay (107 km/h), Hindmarsh Island (109 km/h), Kingscote and Cape Jaffa (111 km/h), Port Lincoln and Cape Borda (113 km/h) and Mt Crawford (120 km/h). The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has forecast vigorous west to southwesterly winds, with gusts of 90-120km/h, over the warning area during the next several hours.  Locations which may be affected include Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier, Murray Bridge, Kingscote, Naracoorte, Renmark and Adelaide. The winds will most likely be associated with showers or thunderstorms. Strong to gale force winds, averaging 50-65 km/h, are also possible near the coast and over higher ground within the warning area. Warnings are currently in place on the BOM website for the Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, Mid North, Murraylands, Upper South East, Lower South East, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Flinders, Riverland and Adelaide Metropolitan regions. Severe weather is no longer occurring in the West Coast district, with the warning for that area being cancelled by the BOM at 12.57pm on Tuesday, July 12.

Meanwhile, the Fleurieu Peninsula has experienced wind, rain and cold weather for four days, with hail falling just after midday on Tuesday, July 12. Naracoorte hasn’t fared much better, with a crazy night of weather wreaking havoc in and around town. It received more than 20mm of rain – nearly an inch in the old scale – and high winds which gusted up to more than 100km/h caused considerable damage.
