Journal#17, Hurricane Hadley,1780.

Hurricane Hadley, the deadliest Atlantic Hurricane in 1780 killed many people.The first Hurricane with winds exceeding 200 mph, the first one to kill around 22,000 people.The winds also destroyed every house on its way. I didn't know that this hurricane happened during the American Revolution War.The storm caused heavy losses to the British and French fleets contesting for control of the area. I fell bad for those people who died during that time, I hope no Hurricanes like the Hurricane Hadley come again.
