Storm season

Yesterday's wild storm and hail just 'kissed' our part of the river yesterday.  Just a heavy downpour with a tinkle of hail.  Another storm is brewing in the southwest and is on track to hit Briz suburbs this afternoon.  We are open - so far its a perfect summer day.  The Wivenhoe dam release is still swamping the Colleges Crossing bridge - making life extremely difficult for those who rely on Mt Crosby Road.  High tide was 9.30am this morning - low tide will be a 3.30pm.  While there is a detour around the Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve - the barricades have been shifted to allow access to the park and the cafe.  Not that many people are taking the drive down the hill.  There's always a price to pay for being in paradise.  The forecast is for showers and storms until Sunday - with rain clearing on Monday.  It would be nice to talk about something else besides the weather, and flooding.
