By 1990, the meteorological community had newer devices that remained independent of external power and could measure higher wind speeds.

In the 1987 storm, it was the counties of Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Essex (i.e. the SE of England) which were worst hit and suffered the most damage. A Met Office forecaster the previous day,

It conducted research that showed that most of the general public could not understand the severity of the warnings. The storm has led to more awareness and understanding of storminess among the public by the KNMI, which started a teletext page and the introduction of special warnings for extreme weather events in reaction to these findings. 142: 564: 637: 468: 38: 1158: 614: 518: 387:
