According to Samuel Pepys' diary and many other contemporaneous accounts, a severe LBMT hit eastern London on January 21, 1662, after severe thunderstorms, causing great damage to poor areas. It has been estimated that the wind speeds of this system were in the 90 to 100 mph range, potentially as high as low end Category 2 hurricane intensity. 12 people are known to have died from this LBMT, although the true death toll may be as high as 100.
