Great storm of 1987 UK 10 October 2007

The Great Storm

on the night of October 15-16 1987

left a trail of destruction

across the south-east

and east of England.

Some 360,000 trees were lost

on National Trust land alone.

killer storm of 1968 western Scotland UK

Twenty-one people died that night,

most of them between 3am and 5am,

and three of them aboard a dredger

that capsized off Greenock.

At least another 100

were seriously injured

and 1,800 made homeless.

The wind tore down

shipyard cranes and electricity pylons,

church spires and school roofs,

and ripped the glass

from the big greenhouses

of the upper Clyde valley,

which then supplied Scotland

with all of its tomatoes.

Four per cent

of Scotland's commercial forests,

equivalent to 18 months'

timber production,

got flattened.

A quarter of a million houses

were damaged,

more than 1,300 beyond repair.

The death and destruction

came too late

to be recorded in Monday's papers,

but Tuesday's Scottish Daily Express

published pages and pages,

including a memorable picture

that looked down

through the gaping floors of a Glasgow tenement,

holed from top to bottom

by a plunging chimney head.
