Weather warning to surfer's, yachtsman and bicyclists!

And the heavens opened an' the world was washed!
Ten minutes into the ride to work rain had forced it's way through the rain jacket and was pooling in the chamois in my knicks. I was wet everywhere and having a ball.
Riding through all the puddles, playing dodge 'em with the cars driving through the puddles, some cars didn't come out the other side!
The Boss just shook his head at me, called me an idiot as I walked into the station proper with water raining off me.


First Job for the night sounded like the Big One!


This wall (Image from Google Earth) collapsed due to the rain. The cars parked in front of it, similar to these, were crushed but no-one was in them. Rescue had gone over the site with thermal gear and didn't believe there was anyone trapped under the rubble so it really was a storm in a teacup. Ha, ha, ha, ha

60M - Threatening Self Harm, was very obviously disturbed and while totally compliant with us later needed to be restrained.

36M - Transfer from a small hospital to another small hospital but closer to home for him.

19M - Facial injuries, I don't think he has ever been hit in the face before, because really they were rather minor.

33M - had a fight with the girlfriend and dropped a heap of 5mg benzo's that his GP had given him. Why do these Dr's get off giving these depressed pt's bottles of 50 tablets of dangerous drugs?

20M - Running across the road, slipped on the wet white lines and a taxi may have driven across his foot. He was walking, didn't want us but we checked him out and then left.

Last call was to the unconscious pt who has left the scene when you arrive.

Will try and snatch some O/t, get the bike serviced and spend some time with my best man who's up here from Tassie to play in the Australian Defence Force hockey tournament.

502/68 = 7.38


See you at the Big One and you be careful out there.
