Hevig weer treft Oodnadatta (Australië)
Wild weather hits Oodnadatta
The outback town of Oodnadatta was hit by a violent squall on Saturday night as 26 millimetres of rain fell in less than 30 minutes and winds of 117 kilometres caused damage. It is believed a new five-metre high shed was completely destroyed in the squall, which began at about 6:00 pm local time. The community on Sunday was still coming to terms with the damage.
Narelle Fullarton, who runs Allandale Station, says a new shed collapsed on top of two trucks at the station in the frightening storm. You couldn't see from our outside kitchen to the end of the carport, which is probably only a couple of hundred metres away, she said. We've just put up a brand new truck shed ... and the wind got into that and most of that is up on the hill and on the roof of our house. Despite the damage, Ms Fullarton was keeping positive in the aftermath. The only one advantage is the creek's full, because we had about 40 mills in 10 minutes, she said. But that wasn't really a true reading because the top of the rain gauge blew off, so I presume there would have been another 30 mills on top of that.
Storms continuing
Matt Collopy from the weather bureau says storms are continuing this morning. There's not much in the way of radar coverage up that way, he said. But we do have a lightning detection network which shows a lot of lightning flashing away up around the Oodnadatta area still. So while we don't expect those particular storms to be severe, there's certainly still storms hanging around that way and we're watching them quite closely.
I think they're a pretty hardy bunch up that way, and they do see storms and so forth, not regularly, but it's not out of the ordinary to see gusty thunderstorms across that part of South Australia. So whilst this is a very strong gust, it's something that they would have seen in some form or another in the past.
