The great storm
Back when the weather people got it wrong all the time (the 80s)
There was a great storm (84 or 87, dunno can't remember) anyway the one not predicted by the fish guy.
Anyway according to my wife during the night in the pitch black there was a huge wind and all the electric went out causing her to scream her head off as well as our 3 drains on our money.
In the morning I woke at 5am and found the leccy off. Tried for 20 mins to call leccy board. eventually called the operator cos it was engaged. Was told they're probably busy because of the hurricane.
Looked outside a a fookin tree was in front of our house laying down.
To this day my wife moans that I slept thru it all, leaving her in the dark thinking the world was ending.

I still believe it didn't happen and it was all a govt conspiricy to get rid of trees instead of pruning them. I think my wife may be part of it.

I think it was '87
and I slept right through it too. I was 3 at the time though.

Yep, October 87
I slept all the way through it aged 6.

age
Trouble is I'm so old that if it was 87 I was 25. OMG that's so long ago. Thankfully my sense of humour never got past 13.
