Were you too young and too far north to fully appreciate Hurricane Hugo? Tough shit. If you want 'interesting storms' piss off to one of the places which gets hurricanes etc every year.I'd love it! We have boring storms in Britain
Oh look, a static caravan has been blown over and a roof tile hit Rene from Allo Allo in the head.<snip>
So bleak looking, you'd think that was a British beach
Ever so slightly - I've seen as wild off Norfolk in winter though.

Boring! I want to experience at least one storm of apocalyptic proportions before I leave this mortal coil.
More than a few, sweetie. And you forgot to mention seeing traffic light poles swaying in the wind, railway station roofs being blown in (eg. Liverpool Lime St), or the dubious delights of getting blown along the road even while wearing something more or less skintight.
Too far East by a few thousand miles, you mean?
No.Too far East by a few thousand miles, you mean?
Hurricane Hugo effected The UK?
No sweetie, it affected the UK, although I grant you a lot of the trees were only blown over because there'd been such heavy rain shortly before it, and a lot of them were still in full leaf. Have a google for some of the pictures of the damage.
Sweetie, read the article - the wind was hurricane force on the Beaufort scale. And it was Hurricane Hugo causing the Great Storm in the UK.
Maybe 88. Hang on... yes 88, because I got my hair cut short the day before the storm.You're not talking about 1987 are you?
Or weirder without being drunk or stoned.
Remember the cartoon which showed "the North" before the storm and "the South" after the storm?
Right, so there was the Great Storm (not hurricane) of 1987
An as yet unidentified storm of 1988
and Hurricane Hugo in 1989
I'll see if I can figure out what the 1988 one was
