EDITORS COMMENTS
Scene at Glendurgan: A National Trust Garden in North Falmouth, Cornwall, After the Devastating 1987 Hurricane This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the destructive 1987 hurricane that hit the picturesque village of Falmouth in Cornwall, England. The image, taken in the renowned National Trust garden of Glendurgan, showcases the raw power and fury of nature as a man stands behind a massive, uprooted tree. The gargantuan tree, once a proud and integral part of the landscape, now lies in disarray, its roots exposed and torn from the ground. The 1987 hurricane, also known as the Great Storm of 1987, was one of the most devastating weather events in the history of the United Kingdom. The storm, which struck on October 15 and 16, brought with it gale-force winds that reached up to 115 miles per hour, causing widespread destruction across southern England. Glendurgan Garden, a popular tourist attraction, was not spared from the wrath of the storm. The garden, which boasts a unique subtropical microclimate, was transformed into a scene of devastation. The uprooted tree in the photograph stands as a testament to the destructive force of the elements. The man in the photograph, seemingly small in comparison to the tree, serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of natural disasters. The historical event continues to be a significant part of the local and national history, serving as a reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature.
