What Wikipedia says

Saint Marcellus's flood or Grote Mandrenke (Middle Low German pronunciation: [ɣroːtə mandrɛŋkə]; Danish: Den Store Manddrukning, 'Great Drowning of Men') was an intense extratropical cyclone that killed at least 25,000 people and, coinciding with a new moon, swept across the British Isles, the Netherlands, northern Germany, and Denmark (including Schleswig/Southern Jutland) around 16 January 1362.
