Abstract

Historical treatments of the effects of storms, even the Great Storm of 1703, describe physical rather than economic consequences. Improvements included building lighthouses and stronger dwellings, adopting weather-resistant crops, spontaneous relocations of farming systems and eventually the under-drainage of fields. The incidence of storms and bad weather could be widespread and damaging but most were regional or local. Geographical diversity meant their effects were likely to cancel out.
