No, it is not my opinion. It is a fact which you can easily reproduce yourself by doing a simple experiment.

Usual mess at the harbour front every time there's a storm. Wonder if the Mayor has ever thought about replacing the old low harbour front wall which was removed by his predecessor? A low stone or stone faced wall would be both practical and attractive.

Where did I claim to know better? I simply reported what Weather Underground were forecasting...and they were still forecasting 25kph until late PM yesterday. Address your vitriole at WU Max, not me ;)
You said this, not WU:

Weather Underground is showing a peak wind of 25kph for mid-day Wednesday, subsiding rapidly after that. Remember that weather forecasters have in the past been described as professional liars :lol:

HIC you were right,I looked on several weather sites including the two on this forum and they either said windy or 20 km an hour,none mentioned the storms we had which were nothing compared with some storms we've had over the years,why people on here have to play this game of one upmanship I don't know ,they think they are always right and never wrong,get a life you people!

Possibly because every time HiC posts an article that turns out to be correct he takes full credit for it! :lol:
