[UK-CONTEST] The Perfect Storm

[Les Allwood]

The UK Met Office is now predicting strong winds in the Northern North Sea, 
although nothing too frightening. I wonder if the Dutch are concerned that 
these winds, with possibly a higher-than-average tide, might cause flooding 
in their low-lying coastal areas.
