The damages in the city of Gloucester they compute at 12000 l., above 15000 sheep drowned in the levels on the side of the Severn, and the sea walls will cost, as these accounts tell us, 5000 l. to repair, all the country lies under water for 20 or 30 miles together on both sides, and the tide rose three feet higher than the tops of the banks.
At Bristol, they tell us, the tide filled their cellars, spoiled 1000 hogsheads of sugar, 1500 hogsheads of tobacco, and the damage they reckon at 100,000 l. Above 80 people drowned in the marshes and river, several whole families perishing together.
