apparently 15 million trees went over

Forest have struggled since then

25 years ago bloody hell i remember it well i was devastated,i was working in kent at the time i finnished work at around 5 ish went into a pub for a few pints,left around 10 ish on the way back to the digs my hat blew off i was pig sick.i think a few people in the area lost other items: roofs,cars,fences,houses,and even thier jobs.I KNOW IT SOUNDS SELFISH BUT I LOVED THAT HAT.

I was on a ferry in the middle of the North sea with hundreds of other City fans, on the way home from Denmark after a Euro qualifier. Anyone else on the board take that trip? It was quite a ride!!!! Drinking in the upstairs bar with the Cwmbran choir on the stage staggering from side to side as the storm started to take hold.

Whatever happened to rapping Rance?

Same here mate, Denmark, went on a trip organised by Mike, from cardiff[ not lambert] , maybe pearce ??? ...about 8 of us from the rhondda, managed to miss the ferry home,had an extra night in Esbjerg, best trip i've ever been on following wales...on the ferry the next day, after the worst of the storms had finished, but still really bad, 3 of us were standing by the bar,then fell about 20 yards over the dance floor...people spewing everywhere,I felt great...good memories...

Yeah it was a great trip. I remember standing on the tables in one of the bars in Copenhagen, singing "MIchael Laudrup is a homosexual" to the Danish Roligans (as they called themselves). Quite prophetic as it turned out!
