South Australia has been chewed up and spat out by mother nature over the past week.
Now the imminent dangers have all but disappeared, leaving the state to recover and count the damage of the storms.
The final burst of severe weather came in the form of a vigorous airstream that moved west across SA's south on Tuesday, packing heavy rain and gusty winds.
With catchments already sodden, the rain brought renewed flood risk along the Onkaparinga, Torrens and Gawler rivers.
The Adelaide Hills were hit hardest on Tuesday and water flowed down the main street in Hahndorf, where businesses reported damage not only to property but also revenue.
Hahndorf Old Mill Hotel manager Craig Fromm said the terrible weather had kept customers away from the popular pub.
"Last week was the worst for business in the five and a half years I have been here," he said.
But the Bureau of Meteorology's SA director John Nairn said the severe weather plaguing SA was behind it and the rest of the week would be warm.
With the danger to homes and properties receding over the coming days, emergency crews and volunteers will get a well-earned rest.
Emergency Services Minister Peter Malinauskas said crews had responded to well over 2000 calls for help during the course of the damaging storms.
"They are incredible men and women," he said.
"Many of these volunteers make the Energizer Bunny look completely lazy.
"Their effort has been truly remarkable and the state government and people of South Australia cannot thank those workers enough."
Authorities will start compiling the damage bill from the destructive storms, which have flooded homes, ruined farms, damaged roads and destroyed power infrastructure.
While a total figure is still a while away, Mr Malinauskas said a preliminary estimation of crop damage alone was $30-$40 million.
The cost to businesses will also be counted, with major companies like BHP Billiton and Arrium halting operations during the blackout.
Meanwhile on Tuesday Premier Jay Weatherill announced an independent inquiry into the storms and the widespread power outage they caused.
"South Australians responded with a collective resolve that should make us all proud," Mr Weatherill said.
"Nevertheless, as a government there are always lessons that can be learned from an extreme weather event such as this.
"So it's important there's a thorough, independent review."
Led by former SA Police Commissioner Gary Burns, the inquiry will focus on SA's preparedness for blackout that sparked a nationwide debate over energy security.
At the height of the storms last Wednesday, 23 transmission towers were torn from the ground in SA's mid north, plunging 1.7 million people into darkness.
Power returned to much of candlelit Adelaide within hours but for some in regional areas the blackout lasted far longer.
