They are predicting this to be the worse storm in 32 years, so its highly unlikely that you've ever fished in something as bad as this before, so giving out words of advise of "your be fine" when the met office are issuing threats to life, is abit wrong in my book

If it's as bad as they say then ,yes could be as bad as when the pub roof blew clean off ,landed on my new car and my neighbours new car too..mind you that was recorded at 117mph..
I've gone round and picked up loose stuff that can whizz about..
Tbh ,I live in one of the windiest places in the UK,its gone real quiet ,like a lull....

It was Josh,I tell you mate...me,my daughter and my wife hid,and I make no apologies for being dramatic either,under our big kitchen table..this was 32 years ago...
If you've have ever heard the wind scream and howl like a demented animal in pain ,that's the best description, I will never ever forget it...
I have even parked my 4x4 into the wind direction given for the morning ,never side on..
My boss has sent us home for the weekend,we've got a 40million quid project going on ,fully expect damage to unfinished frames etc ..
Like I say mate,time will tell,I respect the wind ,I don't take liberties with mother nature..there's a reason why the hedges here are bent and knurled over..

chain sawing someone's leg off
Thats a very specific day ticket fee
That brings new meaning to "I'd give an arm and a leg to fish there".
I was going to go Friday through to Monday, but decided against it, it will have to be from next Wednesday as I'm sure family have things planned for me on Tuesday.

When did I say I had? I said I like weather like this! I would have no problem going out fishing in it aslong as I'm set up right, I've fished in 80 mph winds before (abroad) and was alright, obviously I wouldn't ever recommend someone going out in it if they wasn't confident in just saying there is plenty of people out that “will be fine” met office giving out a threat to life isn't a rare thing either tbh we had it down my way not long ago

Given the met offices run of form I'm going to look out the window on the day.
This week's predicted biblical precipitation turned out to be nothing more than a damp squib, costing me two days earnings.
The hapless shower of fools.

This thread had me thinking I was nuts out last night but it was fine. Got blowy at about 5am and it's blowing harder now. Tempest Brolly holding out fine and whoever says Delkims give false wind bleeps can't set them up properly. The waves are hammering into my end of the water and they have been silent (unfortunately). Worst of it yet to come I think.
