Monday, November 26, 1703. : Over 8,000 people die in Britain's worst storm on record. The United Kingdom is the World’s most hurricane-prone nation. Friday, 26 November 1703, saw England's worst storm on record rip across East Anglia. Gales of up to 80mph were reported, with windmill blades spinning so ferociously that the friction caused them to catch fire, while 4,000 grand oak trees in the New Forest were felled. Hundreds of vessels of the British fleet were lost, including four Royal Navy men-of-war, and an estimated 8,000 sailors lost their lives. It was reported that a ship at Whitstable in Kent was lifted from the sea and dropped over 200 metres inland. Civilian casualties on land were in the hundreds, but no accurate records exist to give true number of the lives lost that day. ![]() |

More - The United States averaged 1,274 tornadoes per year in the last decade. Canada reports nearly 100 annually in the southern regions. However, the UK probably has most tornadoes per area per year, 0.14 per 1000 km². The Netherlands have a similar number of tornadoes per area.
