To British poet John Dryden, the Year of Wonders, Annus Mirabilis, was 1666. That was the year of a "great" British naval victory over the Dutch, as well as the date of the "great" London fire in which 80% of London was destroyed. (Notice how everything about Europeans and what they did is always "great"?) Anyhow, also, that year, a hurricane hit Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Christopher and killed thousands.
