I remember lots of roofs being blown off, the tarpaulin coverings appeared to last a couple of years, in some cases. Duke Street springs to mind. smile.gif

I dont recall any storms. I may have been living overseasin 68, but I was not in 67. I was making a lot of money round then and speding it as fast as I made it on guess what. Maybe I dindn't notice much going on around me if it didn't happen on a week day.
