Michael Fish 15th October 1987 Weather forecast
Many people remember the words of BBC weather forecaster Michael Fish on the lunchtime news before the storm struck "Earlier on today apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she'd heard there was a hurricane on the way. Well, if you are watching, don't worry, there isn't". You can watch the full video below.
The Great Storm of 1987 affected many parts of the UK on the night of 15-16 October. With wind gusts of up to 100mph, 18 people were killed, millions of trees blown down and transport and power seriously disrupted.
