South Australia has copped another belting with a destructive storm lashing the state just 24 hours after super cell thunderstorms knocked out the state’s entire power network. The intense low pressure system raged across Adelaide and parts of South Australia late on Thursday. The State Emergency Service responded to more than 660 calls for help, taking the tally to well over 1,000 in the past 36 hours.
