Byron Bay Today May 20th 2009
Posted by: Big Ben on May 21st, 2009Our hopes that it may just blow over and provide some swell were dashed In Byron Bay Today. The Bureau of Meteorology has upgraded the flood watch to a Flood Warning and the weather warnings have been upgraded from Gale Force to Storm Force. You can add to that torrential rain, dangerous wind gusts, damaging seas and higher usual tides with predictions of tidal inundation on low lying land. Hmm I’ve seen this pattern before. The tide comes up the rivers, the howling easterly prevents the outgoing tide from making it all the way back out before the next high comes in on top of it. Add a storm surge to that and it could get real ugly up here over the next 24 – 48 hours. The Goldy copped it today, some poor bloke got taken out by a window blown out from a high rise. You never know when. And it’s flooding everywhere up there. To which indignity we gotta add the fact that the swell is getting bigger but the wind is far too strong to even consider surfing it. It made for some interesting moments, while I was out and about try to get some shots in the rain. But really when all’s said and done it’s a mess up here right now. Next week is looking to be sweet, but right now it’s no much fun In Byron Bay Today
