But which of these storms from the past do you remember? We have reminders of flooded shops in South Shields in 2009 and walkers struggling against the conditions on the beach in 2008.
Brave shoppers who were out in the 2013 storms on King Street are also included in our feature. Take a look and see how many scenes you remember.
