Came through Alice about this time last year, heading home to Vic.
Started raining about 3 hours north of Alice and didn't let up until we got to the SA border.
Bucketing down, and cold, even for us Victorians. Gutters overflowing everywhere, water banked up half way across the road in places in the middle of town.
A quick check of some stats for last year - 6.8c min, 10.9c max, 13.4mm rain for July 10, 2013.
