I was 15 and our neighbour was half way through building an extension, wind took the entire roof off which consisted of all the timber plus the roofing felt which appeared to act like some kind of sail, i guess if it had the tiles on there would have been enough wait to hold it on. Had a couple of days off school with no power, also remember going to the caravan park at Pett Level and seeing all the caravans upside down in a huge heap up against the trees.
