Yeah our power went out due to having overhead lines and downed trees, including the cooking apple tree in our front garden that took out the power cable to our roof. We had no power for a week, so was a week of candles, no TV and cold baths, which was hell for me as I was into Computer Games.
I remember a massive tree on one of the local roads got felled, it was really old too.
Ii can't remember if it was before or afterwards but I remember being with a mate up the top of the Victoria Circus precinct in Southend outside C&As and it was so windy you could lean at a 45 degree angle into the wind without falling over.

30 Years Ago Can You Believe it. does anyone remember what they we're doing when the storm hit or remembering waking up to see the carnage it brought.

I live too far North to be directly affected, but remember it being on the news a lot.
