The great storm of November 26, 1703, was the biggest thing in tempests that has visited England in historic times. The damage was enormous. In London alone 800 houses were laid in ruins and over 2,000 chimney stacks blown down, while in the County of Kent 19,000 trees were uprooted. Eddystone Lighthouse, with its architect, Winstanley, was swept away, and at sea over 300 vessels were lost, with upwards of 6,000 seamen.
