on this day i had a really shit 80s haircut with a massive fringe across one eye. It was held by loads of hairspray. It moved just a little bit on this windy day.

[bikerchickfrommars]

I remember this; the day after anyway. Totally changes horizon. Trees tossed about and uprooted.

[stuartthegrant]

I am ashamed to say, I slept through all this.

Living as I was on the 5th floor of a tower block at Parsons Green.

What a shock when I went out..

[kangeroobru]

I slept through it aswell. A neighbour house had a tree go through it! Great fun going to school the next day =)

[anyatherat]

I remember I was little, and they evacuated our double decker bus because they were afraid it would tip over. We got stranded in the middle of nowhere cornwall for a while. It was so scary, especially for someone as little as me at the time, thought I might blow away!

[reppinWD]

[Mellywelly29]

[celticlofts]

I was working for the Irish state telephone company at the time and we went to England with our trucks and equipment and helped repair all the lines. We spent weeks there but everyone took great care of us and I remember how greatful everyone was for our help.
