Storm downs trees, causes minor flooding, leaking roofs

A storm cell moved through the ACT earlier this afternoon, impacting the Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, and Belconnen regions.

The slow-moving storm brought heavy rainfall resulting in more than 60 calls for help to the ACT State Emergency Service (to 6pm Monday). Several calls have been received for minor flooding in homes, leaking roofs, and a small number of downed trees.

Weather conditions are expected to ease into the evening but the ACT may experience extended rainfall over the next several hours.

For assistance in a storm or flood call the ACT State Emergency Service on 132 500; in a life-threatening emergency call Triple Zero (000).
