The ire of the inflamed river is driving the water forward at a rate of knots that makes me feel sick just watching it. I am taken aback by just how swollen it is after a single night of rain, and there's most definitely more to come.
However, today's ever-present rain seems fitting given the 75th anniversary of D-day tomorrow, and the fact that the weather was such a big factor on the day, and on the lead up to it. There was only a small window of opportunity. For all we humans think we are in control of our destiny, we are often still enthral to the vagaries of the weather. The world as we know it would not exist as it does today were it not for the break in the storm.
