[Sundae]

I remember it in detail.
I walked to school in the aftermath, only to be turned back because the school had lost power. I felt like I was going to be blown off my feet, and in fact Dads came and collected me (on foot) from my friend's house because I was still quite a skinny little thing then.
And we live in a protected part of the country, weather-wise.

Dads does get really cross when people call it a hurricane though.
Because it wasn't.
Michael Foot was wrong however you look at it, but to hear Dad talk, it's one of the Great Injustices of the 20th Century.

Then again he thinks it was right to hang Derek Bentley, so I have learned to filter his opinion occasionally.
(Dad, not Michael Foot.)
