Saturday, September 03, 1983

It was a dark, and stormy night.
Great weather today, high winds & gusting grey clouds overhead. Went on a trial bike-ride to school. It was extremely difficult to ride against the wind, even downhill. As I write the wind is gusting about the house, very wintry & homely.

Friday, September 02, 1983

Noticed the mounting wind early in the afternoon, it was roaring in the sun-lit trees outside. On my way home the mass of grey clouds I had seen in the South started sprinkling rain. Five minutes later the rain was practically falling horizontally due to the wind. It was now almost impossible to walk against the gale which threw cold, hard rain in your face, but after another ten minutes the wind had dropped and it was merely raining.

In the evening, during The A-Team there was a 'weather-flash' to the effect that the winds would increase to Storm force (10) with gusts of up to 80 mph & structural damage could occur.
