Fortunately, the heavy shower didn't last long but quickly added
another 3mm to the burgeoning rainfall total which has already
just passed a staggering 140mm for the month, an average of
10mm per day. The Fishlake Meadows road remains flooded
and has yet to open in 2014. Maybe there should be a reopening
ceremony when it does so.
