[@SC-zh6li]

I was walking home from a nightclub in Palmers Green to Enfield. I must have got in about 2am i was 17. I work up for work at 8am and left at 8.30am it was like a partial war zone . I opened up on my own, everyone else lived in Essex. To this day, i wish i had experienced it.

I had visited Jersey just before this and my wife and I were travelling back on the cross channel ferry Corbierre when we got caught in the great storm, we left jersey at 10pm and were due to dock in Portsmouth at 7.30 am next day but we didn```t get to Portsmouth until 2.30pm and the ship by then was wrecked internally , due to movement , the duty free shop was badly damaged and there were broken bottles everywhere, the restaurants had broken crockery and broken furniture, even the promenade deck had the seats ripped out of the deck and lost, I was violently sea sick and one man had a heart attack, many cras on the car deck had moved and were damaged . The shipped looked like it had been in a war , I was very glad to get home alive.

I was ten and lived in a house on Folkestone cliff ruined by that hurricane, a friend was killed and a lot of people my dad knew were working on that ship, it ran aground just below our house. He cycled back from Dover do ma at 2am that night to Folkestone, got blown off his bike on the a 20. Found out the next morning that his best friends house had collapsed, the roof flew off and the floor fell through with his 12 year old daughter srill in bed. Her bed fell through the floor into the room below and she survived. It was frightening and noisy at the time but far more frightening two years later when we had another one and knew what we could reasonably expect

I live on the south east coast and remember the devastation. I was 12 at the time.

Was this the Great Storm, or was it the Great Wind? Ask the Vicar of Dibley.

How do they get the boat back on water?

I lived in Brighton when this happened. Slept right through it. Tried to leave the house to go to work in the morning and a tree was blocking the door

Still went dchool

[@anoushkaferrari1427]

At least get the title of this video corrected. It wasn't a hurricane. Hurricates are formed in tropical temperatures. They were hurricane force winds because they were 100 mile and hour and more in areas of the uk.
