16mm in 20 minutes: Murray Bridge records its second-wettest day for 2022

If you’re feeling a bit soggy after the weekend, don’t be surprised.

Saturday was Murray Bridge’s second-wettest day this year, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Storm drains were overwhelmed and streets turned into water hazards during the afternoon as a storm dumped 16 millimetres of rain on the area in just 20 minutes.

Murray Bridge’s State Emergency Service brigade received 11 calls for help over an eight-hour period, including from a home on Silver Birch Drive whose back verandah had collapsed.

Seven more Murray Bridge residents, and one at Callington, reported that their properties had been flooded.

A tree was also reported to have fallen across Placid Estates Road at Wellington East.
