Was reminded of this by a post on met-monkey but this weekend, it's 25 years since the storm.
Here in the Midlands, I remember going to school (think it was a Friday morning) and thought it was just a bit wet and windy. I had no idea what had happened in the south of the country though. My grandparents who lived in Lewes near Brighton, slept through it all but said they woke up to find a couple of ridge tiles had gone through their conservatory roof. One had landed on a terracotta plant pot, splitting it exactly in half but leaving the plant totally unharmed!
Anyone else with other memories?
