I hope you are only going to say that once BF?
Was that the first big storm or the second one that happened in the daytime?

The first one was at night and turned Sevenoaks into Twooaks. The second was in the daytime.
No we drove behind it, running over bits of splintered caravan.

Smithfields Market, A plettac roof for SGB
cheers alan, that might help me refine my search
TK scaffolding had a roof up over the greyhound in streatham in the 2nd hurricane. we had to go and make it safe during the winds that same day , some ci sheets blew out of the old type clips across the road over into he common. very lucky no one got hurt or killed !
