You Brissy blokes seen whats headed your way. Check the radar. And get the cars under cover.

[Lucky_Phill]

Yep, just checked the radar, looks like that wee little storm cell has split and will miss Brisvegas...........again.

It may build in intensity as it travels further towards the coast. here's hoping.

Maybe those Kiwi's brought it with them for tonights Test Match !!

[Lucky_Phill]

Just had a look at BOM (19:15 hours) and at this stage it looks good for Pine Rivers area.:D

Trouble is most of these storms move too quick to dump a significant amount in any one place.:(

Drove to Redcliffe around 3 pm and it looked like a good built up towards the south east but then it all seemed to fizzle out.

SeaBreeze forecasts thunderstorms tonight, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Luc

[Lucky_Phill]

PHIZZER

No rain tonight people, but the forecast is for rain and thunderstorms over the next 3 days. we''ll see !!!!!

[Luc]

Ah well, we've had our ten minute shower in Strathpine.:)

Will still have to water the pot plant tommorrow.

Maybe better luck over the next 3 days.

With the storm passing, seabreeze shows the wind dropping to 5 knots NNW.:D

Looks like another good day tommorrow.

Lucky bastards! Nothing in Bracken Ridge..........empty tanks and brown plants............... and she won't let me put the rig in the water until there's enough water in the tank to wash it. ::)

[Luc]

Hi Kev,

I've been using the commercial car wash at Brendale to clean my boat.

$2 or $3 at the most (including the back end of the ute) then home for a quick flush of the outboard. Patchy green grass.:)

Re Storms, looks like we're quite 'safe' from anything tonight.:(

Maybe tommorrow!!!

Mate, it takes me nigh on 45 mins to wash my rig properly..............I can't see 'em putting up with that at any commercial wash. >:( I got enough bent nose jobs in the pub game without getting another over salt on a freakin' boat! ;D

[Luc]

I've seen some pretty crudy 4WD take close to 30 minutes at the car wash and leave a mess in the bay they've used.

My little 4M tinny don't take much to clean especially with the high pressure hose.

Plenty of boats there on Sat & Sun afternoons.
