THE GREAT STORM / HURRICANE OF 16th/17TH OCTOBER 1987
The one that Michael Fish said wasn't coming!
By Andy Gilbert
30 years ago on the morning of the 17th October 1987, Newhaven (like many other towns in the South East) awoke to scenes of utter devastation. Our Newhaven already has a few pages detailing the events of that night.
Alan Novis has just posted a series of images on the We Love Newhaven Facebook page. For those who don't 'do' Facebook, he's kindly allowed me to display them here.
I'll return the compliment by posting some of ours on the Facebook page!
These images will no doubt stir up some memories, so let's hear some stories of what happened to you that night!
