Storm clean-up continues as some northern SA communities lose access to phone services

Power has been restored to the majority of homes and businesses in South Australia affected by Saturday’s storm, but 30,000 properties remain in the dark as the clean-up from the wild weather continues.

At the height of the outage, SA Power Networks said 163,000 of its customers lost power, but since then crews have made significant progress, with teams from NSW also on their way to assist.
