    There's no way people can say they weren't warned. There's been enough media coverage. Yet some people still put their own lives at risk, and potentially that of various rescue services just to get a look at the storms.

    There's a video in this new article. Watch what happens about 30 seconds in. That could so very easily of ended in tragedy.

        I know exactly where they were standing, you'm right, they could have been washed over the cobb into the harbour.

        Madness, I would want to be as faraway as possible from that, not putting myself in danger like they were. It's bad enough just watching it on the television.

            That's not the only risk, this picture is what the sea threw up when we was last badly hit. Under all that debris used to be a coastal path, perhaps if people realised they could be hit by a Belfast sink or a massive tree trunk, they would think twice?

              I believe that anyone who ignores warnings & then needs rescuing should be sent a bill for the full cost of that rescue.
