In October 1780, a hurricane of unprecedented fury struck Jamaica's western coast, leveling the town of Savanna-la-Mar and killing thousands. This episode follows the storm's path—from its first signs in the barometer to the tidal wave that swept away the town's fort and prison. We explore the colonial response, the humanitarian crisis in the parishes of Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth, and how the disaster exposed the fragility of the plantation economy. Lucas and Luna discuss the letters of planter Simon Taylor, the role of Admiral George Rodney in relief efforts, and the long-term consequences for Jamaican infrastructure and slavery. The hurricane remains one of the deadliest Atlantic storms on record, yet it is often overshadowed by the Great Hurricane of 1780 that devastated Barbados. We dig into why Savanna-la-Mar's story matters—and how it reshaped building codes, insurance, and colonial governance in the British Caribbean. #SavannaLaMarHurricane #Jamaica1780 #GreatHurricaneOf1780 #SavannaLaMar #WestmorelandParish #SimonTaylor #GeorgeRodney #PlantationEconomy #ColonialJamaica #AtlanticHurricanes #Slavery #CaribbeanHistory #BritishEmpire #NaturalDisaster #JamaicanHistory #DisasterResponse #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
