The impact section needs work. Wikification is poor and some phrases don't make sense (most insured losses in Irish history?). Jdorje 05:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
Not massively important in the great scheme of things, but the storm that hit Europe turned the first Birmingham Superprix (a short-lived street motor racing event centred on a Formula 3000 race) into a complete washout, and probably contributed to the Superprix never really getting going as an event and being discontinued after five years. Not many references online, but these give an idea. 86.132.139.221 03:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Look for NCDC info. Also, watch out for redundant words. Other than that, FAC seems to be in the near future. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
In case anyone has this page watched, I'm thinking of FAC'ing it at some point. Any suggestions? -- Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:14, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

August 1986 Bank Holiday, when the tail end of Hurricane Charlie careered across the Atlantic and cause havoc in the UK and beyond. I was camping in a borrowed frame tent, at Braithwaite Campsite just outside Keswick in the UK Lake District. Luckily we pitched the tent in the lee of a hedge, so stayed warm and remarkably dry. I would love to say I slept though it, but I didn't. All night all we could hear were tents (no motorhomes or caravans on the site in those days, well I don't think so anyway) flapping and rending. When we got up total devastation, only a few tents still standing like us in the lee of the hedge. People were just opening the boots of cars and just throwing everything in, whilst some were searching for bits and pieces throughout the campsite. It looked like a war zone. We stayed on for another couple of nights, no power on site for most of the day, but it was back on by early evening. Oh those were the days, can't imagine what it would be like now if something similar happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greens Peace ( talk • contribs) 16:35, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
