It's amazing to think that less than 40 years ago a massive storm like this could happen with almost no warning. As much as we sometimes mock the severe weather warnings nowadays, if something like this did happen again we'd be better prepared.

I was driving on the M25 at one in the morning and struggling to drive my Volvo, a heavy and solid car. The next morning whilst having breakfast i saw several cars turning around in my drive, when I set off to go to work i found out why. Trees across the lane. I managed to find a route onto the motorway which was eerily empty, apart from a few trucks blown onto their sides, just like in one of those movies set after an apocalypse

As a 16 year old I slept through it, woke up early for work & couldn't understand why the power was off, went downstairs and the front door was wide open. Only found out about it by finding a battery powered radio! My village in north east Hampshire was cut off for two days. We had absolutely no warning at all.

I am therefore a year older than you as I was 17 and a YTS trainee at the time. Relatives living in the South of England had it worse than my family in the West Midlands. It was my brother Anthony's birthday - he turned 20 the day of the storm!

I remember that night. I heard the howling wind, but had no idea of the extent of the damage until I ventured out in an attempt to get into work the following morning. My attempt was successful (although I had to divert a couple of times due to fallen trees). Many colleagues were not so "fortunate!" Several cherry tress in my road were lost and one main road in the area stayed closed for several weeks.

I remember this happening even though I was only 3 years old at the time. I remember my mother tucking me into bed and said there's gonna be a storm tonight. I remember sometime later I could hear the wind rustling badly and other things which scared me as I was trying to get to sleep. When I woke up in the morning my mum took me into the garage and showed me the damage the storm had done. It had blown down part of our garage wall.

Sounds very familiar to me. Maybe an offshot hit us in south germany. I was 5 so it must have been 1987 when an partucular heavy storm came in. It rattled the hole evening and night. The next day i got out early and just walked around in our Farmstead. It seemed strangly dark. Only after i turned back i realised why. The Roof of our Machine hall was uprooted. 10x15 Meter peaces hang everywhere, including between the hall and an big old gnarly tree on the other side of the street, making the street a precarious Tunnel. And i walked under it without an worry in the world 😅
