I also see that they don't categorize them as Hurricanes, but Great Storms...and the 1987 article said that hurricanes have different wind profiles and more rain (due to their tropical nature). Wow.
And the one in 1703, hitting the ships heading back to Spain, must have been seen as something... but then again there were massive British casualties too.

I was thinking about the effects off the Newfoundland and northern coasts of Canada...not the European aspect of the North Sea, oops! My bad geography!
