The October 1987 Storm

My Comment:
Just a request here, did anyone on this ng
experience this? If so what was it like where you lived? I was living in
Australia at the time and missed it.

Er, we were on honeymoon in Penzance

I slept right through it ! My new wife - a very light sleeper - was awoken at
about 0200 by the bay window of the hotel bedroom trying to demolish itself !

There wasn't that much damage that I was aware of out there in the SW, but the
sea was interesting in that there wasn't as much swell as I would have
expected, but there were HUGE amounts of water going up in the air when a wave
hit the sea wall... Not as bad as a few weeks ago, but still spectacular !

I shall try to dig out the photo's I took and post them... soonish !
