Well, 'Sierra' is how I heard it pronounced on a TV news item earlier!
What's in a name anyway? The great storm of 1987 did not have a name and that was far worse than this one. I was working in London that night until all the electricity went off, I recall the 25-mile drive home at 02.30am was horrendous. No street lamps or traffic lights and fallen trees everywhere – not recommended that's for sure!
