Default Revisiting the 1987 storm

I often wonder what difference there would have been to the outcome of
the storm if Mr. Fish (or Mr. Giles) had given a warning of an
impending violent storm.

I always draw the same conclusion - absolutley none!


It's a very good point: the Burns Day Storm in 1990 was very well forecast,
but hit during the day, and many more people were killed than 1987.
