SA Murray River communities rush to prepare as floodwater threatens to inundate properties

Residents living near the Murray River in South Australia are in a race against time as floodwater rapidly moves downstream and threatens to inundate homes and livelihoods. 

Authorities are warning there will now be two flood peaks, with 175 gigalitres a day expected for the first in early December and 185GL a day a few weeks later. 

Residents in multiple riverside towns are preparing by building levees and moving their valuables to higher ground.
