Are we turning into a nation of hysterical pearl clutchers?

TV reporters on a Cornish beach are barely having their hair ruffled by the wind, and the waves behind them look practically normal!

Lifeboats station roofs don't typically fall off in a light breeze...

My local golf club have closed for the day, ..

Fair enough - Trying to play golf in a 70 MPH wind does seem a bit of a pointless exercise!

ALl the same, what's to stop them sitting around in the bar drinking G & Ts?

[woohoo]

The greens lads like a Friday off, so fair do's, and to be honest it's starting to come down a bit now - no wind at all, wonder what that means.

I’m cheering them on!

Sennen - from the live feed so couldn't get a link.

A few more here, the Porthleven one would be great in a big sea but while you can see it's pretty windy, little sign of waves.

I used to contract for an Icelandic company, got to go over there a few times ... landing at Keflavik was always like this ... sit on left side of plane and as coming it to land your coming in sideways and landing strip is fast coming towards you, than at last second the pilot straightens plane up to land. Apparently it's where pilots go to train how to land in severe wind.

As for the weather today, I live in West Country and the past hour the winds have really picked up. We had a short power cut but that's all back up now.

Stay safe folks**
