Stories about Storms
"In Green Park, the wall was blown down. Well, I would estimate it was sometime around the 60s. That was a severe storm and it blew the wall of the Green Park. I was a married man with three children here in town at that stage. It isn't that long ago, it's only fifty years ago. That was a big one alright. Two years ago - that one blew down trees where I live. Big huge trees got blown down and they broke all the walls and were out on the road. I had to get someone out to get them out of the way because it was blocking traffic, and it was a pain. Are storms getting worse?"
"I used to go under the table during storms, I thought they were angrier when I was young. Others think storms are angrier now - they are being named now and that they are more powerful. Storms seem to be more frequent and corrugated roofs which I think were well secured were blown over the past few years."
