"The Storm" by Daniel Defoe is a work of journalism published in 1704. It documents the catastrophic Great Storm of 1703 that devastated London and Britain's coastline. Using an innovative method, Defoe collected and compiled sixty eyewitness accounts from survivors who experienced the week-long tempest. The work describes demolished homes, destroyed forests, shipwrecked vessels, and remarkable tales of survival, creating what has been called the first substantial work of modern journalism.
