Lightning response to hurricane

Who remembers weatherman Michael Fish?  On 16 October 1987 one of the worst storms in living memory wreaked havoc across Britain, ripping off roofs and uprooting trees.  The definition of a hurricane is a wind of 64 knots or more, sustained over a period of 10 minutes. In the early hours of 16 October, the sustained winds reached 75 knots and lasted for well over an hour - causing devastation to much of southern England.  Guernsey and the rest of the Channel Islands were badly hit and many locals awoke to find a scene of devastation.

Although a very difficult event for many Channel Islanders, that terrible night made Insurance Corporation's reputation and the company really developed from that point.  Our local knowledge, understanding of the situation but most importantly the expertise of our Channel Island staff ensured that claims were settled quickly and appropriately.  We were the right people, in the right place at the right time.
