SCOTLAND...165 MPH WINDS

The headline of a Northern Scottish Newspaper, the Press and Journal, stated "Winds 165 MPH".  Under this startling factoid, (and I have no doubt that it was carefully placed) was a picture of a couple at a place where sea spray could be seen dropping over the esplanade. The couple were looking a bit blown about, not best dressed for the situation, and in a risky place for the conditions.  But, to protect themselves from the elements, they were pictured holding a completely intact umbrella!
