I wouldn't want to be a fisherman, out in the Celtic Sea tonight.

See the spot winds from the Marathon Gas platform.....

It is blowing a hooligan now, but nothing like the stuff we had in 1989: I think it was sustained 100mph plus at one point. Two buses stopped for the drivers to have a chat, I was trying to convey to them the idea to move on as the tin barn next door was blowing across the road in big square sheets.
