On 30 January 1607, floodwater overwhelmed communities along the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary, turning farmland into open water and leaving families fighting for their lives. Contemporary accounts describe collapsing houses, desperate escapes and boats brought overland to reach stranded survivors. In this episode of Compact Disasters, we explore the landscape that made the region vulnerable, the human cost of the inundation and the evidence behind a question that still attracts debate: was the flood caused by a storm surge or a tsunami?
