It may be astounding, but I was dancing on the balcony just a moment ago. Dancing because there was water running in the streets of Brisbane City. Water running in the streets because of a good, hard rain. This is the third night in a row with a decent rain. Tonight, there was also a good bit of lightning. I just saw a bolt hit a radio tower on Mount Coot-tha, which is the highest point in the area and located to the southwest of my flat.
Having grown up in Maine, where water was never a problem, I never imagined I'd be overjoyed to see something formerly so common. And yet there I was, hopping up and down, smiling. Thrilled. Running water!
Is this the end of the drought in Queensland?
