Britains Hurricane History: Looking Back

National papers reports Katia

Path of Hurricane Katia

Living here in England people are not even prepared for weather like this

as the last time uk was struck was 25 years ago in 1986 on August 20th through to the end of August.

I was indeed on holiday in Ingoldmels as a Child and remember the long scary nights as our Caravan was really moving! and the news showed that Hurricane Charlie had tipped over some caravans and even derailed trains.

My memory is still powerful of that holiday and i will never forget the hunting horrors of knowing we could get blown over.

Look at the size of it back in 1986

and if you look at the path it took then you can understand how it could happen again.

Hurricane Charlies path 1986

I recommend that people lock away items that can be picked up and cause windows to break.

Such as Garden Furniture: Tables, Chairs, BBQs bikes light garden ornaments like solar lights ect..

(Even children's toys)

Don't let the wind have the last laugh!

Be prepared!  and if your really like gambling! Don't risk the odds of staying in a caravan!

Even if Katia does calm down and go away! the risks of other hurricanes are a bit higher for a few years due to solar events and planetary orbits.

Bellow is a detailed report on Hurricane Charlie:

Hurricane Charley was the costliest tropical cyclone of the 1986 Atlantic hurricane season.^[1] The third tropical storm and second hurricane of the season, Charley formed as a subtropical low on August 13 along the Florida panhandle. After moving off the coast of South Carolina, the system transitioned into a tropical cyclone and intensified into a tropical storm on August 15. Charley later attained hurricane status before moving across eastern North Carolina. It gradually weakened over the north Atlantic Ocean before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on August 20. Charley's remnants remained identifiable for over a week until after crossing the British Isles and dissipating on August 30.
