East Coast (1778)
August 10-13 - East Coast hurricane. The storm did extensive damage in eastern North Carolina, then moved up the coast offshore. It intervened in a French-British naval battle. The French ships were larger and sustained the heaviest damage. The smaller British ships had a chance to capitalize on the situation, but retired at nightfall on the 13th. Morning found more French ships on the scene and an opportunity lost.
