< on 2/6/2008 12:31 PM >
|  | | | Here in Brisbane, we had a bit of a downpour this afternoon. I dropped by a drain feature that some may recognise (thank you again ds for leading me there). This was a couple of hours after the rain had ceased, but the tunnel was still half-full of rushing water.
Excuse the awful photography :P
Look at that debris! Yes, the water really was that high. The pedestrian underpass nearby has a *nasty* high water mark. Where the hell all that water went is anyone's guess, but parts of the city were flooded out, with bonnet-level water.
Toadie is a reasonably big drain, but once I vaguely thought you might survive a flood in its famous chamber, standing on tiptoes on its little concrete platform. Such a naive thought - you really would just die...

|  | | | It's always amazing just how much water can enter these systems in a short time. I wouldn't have wanted to be near the silo end during that weather.
Nice photos Waffle.
Note: Wonder how much of the graf it washed off

| | | | Holy shit.
No wonder those two at Lurline Bay never had a chance. That would just so fuxor you if you were even caught against that grille.
Caution! This user is a wise ass and may use sarcasm.
Is my back pack good enough for UERing? |
