Description
The Bristol Channel floods of 30 January 1607 drowned many people and destroyed a large amount of farmland and livestock during a flood in the Bristol Channel. The known tide heights, probable weather, extent and depth of flooding, and coastal flooding elsewhere in the British Isles on the same day all point to the cause being a storm surge rather than a tsunami.
