I slept through it, but my wife went to sleep with our son, who was 2 at the time. Woke up to find the only damage was a lost garden shed which ended up in a neighbour's garden. Next door lost most of their roof tiles, many ending up in our garden.
Loads of trees lost in our road, and a whole row of mature trees went down, blocking the road past the Royal Eastbourne Golf Club. Paradise Drive was closed for months due to fallen trees.
A couple of neighbours had those inflatable bubbles over their swimming pools. Never saw a trace of them again!
Not sure exactly when, but verysoon after (if not the next day) I went for an Atlantic Computers corporate day at Brands. They had lost a couple of trees on the GP circuit, but we were OK using the short circuit. My instructor was Ben Edwards, and I had a passenger ride with Yony Trimmer in a replica D Type. Great day
