Several trees were reported to have fallen in the area, including a tree which damaged two vehicles parked at the Angaston Football match on Saturday.

The Lieb family from Freeling spent part of Friday night sawing a tree, which blocked their path to their property. “It was a trilogy of events,” Venetta Lieb, owner of La Buona Vita in Tanunda said. “There was no power in the main street of Tanunda, no power at home and then there was a tree across the road,” she said. The couple, with their son, spent two hours removing the branches from the tree to gain access to their property.

“We couldn’t use the other road because it’s dry weather only and we would have become bogged,” Venetta added. She tried contacting emergency services but could not be connected.

In Gawler South at 4pm on Saturday, Sarah Berry was in her kitchen when a large gum tree crashed through the ceiling. “Luckily I wasn’t injured,” Sarah said.

Emergency crews were kept busy over the weekend as many homes and businesses went without electricity including parts of Freeling, which were out for about 30 hours, from Friday night until Saturday.
