Interestingly this is an image from inside Scrivener Dam, me being an infrastructure geek have always been keen to get a guided tour inside

Scrivener was last open back in June 2007, which was the first time in 5 years. You can see photos here… http://michael.rwts.com.au/2007/06/28/scrivener-dam-in-flood/

My better half used to work for the company responsible for managing the dam and the flood management plan.

The storm last night was huge. I experienced it first hand standing on Scrivener dam in torrents of rain and lightning striking all around.

Oops – I meant storm…

The pics are excellent.

What an amazing strom it was!
