It was a hot and sultry day. It was just too hot not to get a storm. The initial offering was very heavy rain with a smattering of hail. The bulk of the hail fell in another part of town and made the evening news. This was just the entre however, as a second wave of nasty looking clouds followed soon after.
There was no mistaking that we were about to be hammered with the second delivery. Why stay on board? We took refuge under a verandah at the marina with a drink and waited together with a number of other jetty rats. But not for long.
This little system gushed through at 45knots (around 90kph) and kept streaming down the coast giving a repeat performance at Brisbane Airport and right through Moreton Bay, some 250km to the south!
At times like these, it is very nice to be tied up alongside a jetty!
