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 storm would not only unleash God's wrath upon the exposed armies, but initiate a cascade of unintended consequences and exacerbate the already abysmal logistical problems the Allied armies were experiencing in the Crimean War. The misery of the Great Storm shows how war can truly be hell without ever a shot being fired.
