It was the worst storm in the UK for almost 300 years. 18 people lost their lives and many others were injured, with the most damage caused in southern England.
The storm uprooted millions of trees, ripped roofs off buildings, and destroyed cars. Electricity lines went down leaving thousands of homes without power.
