Whilst this was a bit before my time, I am always surprised how little coverage the event gets compared with Michael Fish's "Hurricane" of October 1987.

A repeat of this event would potentially be very serious for the coastline and rivers round here (Lowestoft, Southwold). With our soft geology and lack of height, a "standard" red warning would not really be sufficient.

One day of course it will happen, and I am not sure that we would be properly prepared.
