"the only person who died in London was a tramp" - like it didn't matter!!!! ha ha

Fascinating to see this - I was 10 at the time, with only vague memories of the disruption. Sickening, though, to hear the reporter at 6:23 and the callous way he implies that the "tramp"'s death didn't matter so much as it might have done if a Belgravia resident had died.

Going to be stormy tonight in the south and again on Thursday night, wonder if it will be anything like this.

Geeze did you see the poor schmows with the two axes trying to cut that massive tree? Are they still there today?

Why did no one take the Met Office and the BBC to court?

@gozza18 nah he said a hurricane was not coming and he was right. this was not a hurricane. People just twisted the weathermans words and heard what they wanted to. it was a tropical storm (and only just) it was way off being a hurricane. The sustained winds were not high enough. THere were some massive gusts of wind no doubt , but the sustained wind speed was only 46MPH . has to be 75MPH to be a hurricane

haha yeah same here, I guess it's more interesting in life seeing stuff like this. But yeah it's not good when people start to die.

@davidhaythornthwaite You're weird, just like me :-) I don't want to see people die obviously, but I love stormy weather.

dont matter if the weathermen had spotted it or not, the winds would still just have been as strong, and people would still have died, i personally thought it was awesome, whens the next one, cant wait
Do you happen to have the full channel 4 news on this storm?
