What on earth does that mean?

Is 'houle' what one'd pronounce 'hooley'?

Good job Emma Pooley hasn't been caught in a houle.

Stage cancelled now. It's a pity but probably the correct decision.

'La houle' is the energy of an ocean wave, so it's strangely apposite for the aftermath of a hurrricane.
