When did nature conspire with the enemy? In November of 1854 a massive storm wreaked havoc on the encamped British, French, Turkish, and Russian armies in the Crimea and wrecked more than 37 ships in the Black Sea.

The misery of the Great Storm shows how war can truly be hell without ever a shot being fired.
