I slept through it all, I woke up up to see our car surrounded by roof tiles, amazingly it was not stuck by any. My neighbour in Cheam Village where I lived at the time lived above his florist shop went to the window to see what the noise was had a lucky escape, as at that moment his chimney crashed through the ceiling on to the bed he had just vacated
I worked in Chelsea at the time and noticed that quite a few of the officers 'top of the range' cars were crushed by fallen trees in the barracks car park which they had left there overnight following on from a late night party.
