Cyclone Oratia, (Tora in Norway)[4] was an unusually deep European windstorm which affected Western Europe from 28 to 30 October 2000. The storm was the fiercest to hit Britain in October since the Great Storm of 1987, with wind gusts reaching 109 mph (175 km/h),[5] and gusting at up to 70 mph (110 km/h) over much of the south of England. Its barometric pressure fell to 941 hPa (27.8 inHg), over the North Sea making it one of the deepest lows recorded in the country in October.[6] The lowest land-based pressure observation reached 951.2 hPa (28.09 inHg) at RAF Fylingdales.[7] The storm contributed to the Autumn 2000 western Europe floods.
