Oh and for those that think Fish doesnt do the weather anymore he still does for us here in the South East and when he is on no one takes him seriously! Kaddy and Rachel always get it spot on but Micheael never does! I dunno where he gets his information from.

I was 6 months old when this happened and I slept through the whole thing lol. We live on the south coast in Thanet near the seaside and it caused so much havoc. Michael Fish got it so so wrong! he even got todays weather wrong too, said it was gunna be bright and sunny. What is it? rain and miserable looking. Nice one! lol

@abbafan50986 yes, but in the eyes of the audience it was misleading.

0:34 Im pretty sure it was meant to dock at Folkestone, not on Folkestone :/

Here I only thought Southern Asia & the US got storms like this.

big storm on the way right now by all accounts...

I don't think it was 15th October.. It was right at the end of October '87. I was due in for work but the Underground was totally shutdown.. Id woken up at my usual time to go to work (0500), it was dark and I remember thinking, bloody hell that wind is strong out there!

This was not a hurricane.... hurricanes are warm core systems of tropical origin; this was a temperate frontal depression, albeit a very intense one for S. England. The hurricane which Fish was referring was Hurricane Floyd, 3000 miles away in the Caribbean. The forecast was fair: but they got the path of the strongest winds too far south. Vital forecast data was compromised by government spending cuts, axeing a weather ship in Biscay. If you wanna point a finger, there's the problem.
