The South Australian State Emergency Service (SA SES) has responded to more than 240 requests for assistance after heavy rainfall overnight following heavy rain and localised flooding across Metropolitan Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills.
Over 100 SASES volunteers have attended to requests for assistance for flooding, trees down and rockslides across roadways, with several roads remaining closed this morning.
Seven separate swift water rescues were also undertaken as people became trapped in fast rising flood water.
