The Storm
Having been at Horsham during the 1987 storm and seeing the devastating aftermath, I am hoping that CH did not suffer too much damage in last nights storm. Anyone know?

One small fir down in a staff garden.
That is about all I know.

Probably no massive, unkempt limes left to fall over.
I do recall the schadenfreude of seeing all the trashed cars in the morning,

Me too. I actually slept through it all, the first I knew of it was when we were woken up by Miss Lindsay, our housemistress.Avon wrote:

Glad there wasn't as much damage this time round though.

Personally, I don't think last weeks storm was anywhere as near as bad as the previous 'hurricane'.

Re: The Storm
I fully agree. In 1987 I lost three trees, this time one smallish branch and the neighbourhood was not badly affected. I did lose two ancient fence panels so I already had replacements waiting for the paint to dry. We are not affected by floods anytime so I don't know about that.J.R. wrote:Personally, I don't think last weeks storm was anywhere as near as bad as the previous 'hurricane'.
In 1987 I slept through it but these days I get up around 6.30 am so I could see the trees waving.
What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!!

Same as me, David. It must be the C.H. up-bringing.
