I'd be really interested to hear if anyone else has memories of this storm. That video was shot a long time before I was interested in the technical side of weather stuff and the internet age, so I didn't know anything was coming our way until seeing the lightning and darkness on the horizon. The main thing I remember is how massive, dark and smothering it felt. It was incredibly humid and the worst thing was you couldn't open the windows because the rain and wind was so bad. The strike at 0:33 in Part 2 is still the closest lightning strike I've filmed.
There was also a record asthma epidemic associated with this storm, referenced here.
The video was filmed from this location, with the front windows facing south-west. If you go to streetview level it's easy enough to work out the orientation. That's the Marconi tower in the background.
