The List of Atlantic hurricanes in the 18th century encompasses all known Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1700 to 1799. While not all data for every storm that occurred is available, some parts of the coastline were populated enough to give data of hurricane occurrences.

1700–1724

Year Location Date Deaths Damage/Notes
1700 Barbados[1]
1700 South Carolina / Charleston September 14 [O.S. September 3] 98 A hurricane struck the South Carolina coastline while the Rising Sun, a Scottish ship, was docked in Charleston harbor. The ship was thrust up on the beach, broke up, and all aboard were drowned. The only surviving sailors from the ship had gone ashore earlier to look for provisions and ended up having to bury the dead on the beach the next day. The other ships docked there were also wrecked. Charleston was devastated and flooded by this ferocious hurricane. Known as the Rising Sun Hurricane of 1700[2]
1702 Barbados[1]
1703 Virginia, Maryland, New England coastline October 18–19 [O.S. October 7–8] N/A Great wind and flood damage; many ships were lost[3]
1703 England / British Isles December 7–8 [O.S. November 26–27] Many thousands Known as The Great Storm of 1703. Most powerful wind force ever experienced in modern England history and caused more death and destruction that any known storm before or after. One third of British Navy fleet sunk during this storm. Storm likely originated from an Atlantic based formed hurricane.[3]
1705 Havana, Cuba N/A Many were lost 4 ships lost
1706 New York, Connecticut October 13–15 [O.S. October 3–5] Strong wind and heavy rains reported in NY (14th) and CT (16th) Unusual and heavy flooding occurred In many areas in NY and CT [4]
1706 Off of Virginia coast November 6–7 [O.S. October 26–27] N/A Hurricane at sea. England bound fleet of ships from America was scattered by a raging hurricane at sea. Many had to return to Virginia for repairs, other ships were lost at sea. No landfall believed to be known.[4]
1707 St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua[1] September 2 N/A Nevis was "nearly ruined", and several ships were wrecked off the coast of St. Kitts
1707 St. Augustine, Florida September 30 N/A Heavy flooding and damage
1708 Veracruz N/A 578 N/A
1712 Jamaica September 8 400 Many houses destroyed; perhaps occurred on 28 August [Julian calendar ?]
1713 Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico[1] September 4–5, 6 100 in Martinique San Zacarias Hurricane, caused a storm surge in southern Puerto Rico.[5]
1713 South Carolina / Charleston, North Carolina, Virginia September 16–17 [O.S. September 5–6] Many Known as South Carolina Hurricane of 1713. Charleston town was once again inundated by the sea (see 1700). The death toll reportedly was significant from the high storm surge that washed in with this storm. On Sullivan's Island, "The new Look out made of wood, built eight square and eighty feet high, was blown down." In Charleston's harbor, all but one of the vessels were driven ashore and "all the front wall and mud parapet before Charlestown undermined and washed away" The two rivers on both sides of the town were connected for a period of unknown time during the storm. The storm was reportedly more violent north of Charleston suggesting landfall was made north of the town. The effects were most significant in Currituck county, North Carolina near the Virginia-North Carolina border, where the storm surge breached the Outer Banks and opened several inlets into the Currituck Sound. William Byrd, one of the commissioners who established the Virginia-North Carolina boundary, stated "There was no tide in Currituck until 1713, when a violent storm opened a new inlet five miles south of the old one. One of the new inlets carved out by the storm became the location where the Virginia-North Carolina line begins on the Atlantic coast.[6]
1714 Florida Keys Late June Many drowned Many ships sank
1714 Guadeloupe August 13–14[1]
1714 Jamaica August 29[1]
1714 Cuba[1]
1715 Off of Florida east coast July 31 1000–2500 Seven days after departing from Havana, Cuba eleven of the twelve Spanish ships of this fleet were lost in a hurricane near present day Vero Beach. See 1715 Treasure Fleet.
1715 Mexico August 26[7]
1716 Massachusetts / Boston, Martha's Vineyard October 24–25 [O.S. October 13–14] Hurricane with strong winds and rains affecting Eastern Massachusetts, Boston and Martha's Vineyard. Maybe no direct landfall.[8]
1717 Alabama Late Summer Pelican Harbor on Dauphin Island was destroyed by shifting sands [9][10]
1718 Nevis September[1]
1720 Puerto Rico N/A 500 N/A
1722 Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Carolinas August 28 – September 3 280,[1] 400 [1] Passed south of Port Royal, which was devastated by a 16–18 foot storm surge. [2]
1722 Jamaica, Louisiana, South Carolina September 11,23-24 [O.S. September 1,12-13] 400 Great Louisiana Hurricane of 1722. Moved through Lesser Antilles on September 11. This hurricane is the first tropical storm to strike the region for which there are adequate first-hand accounts and almost completely destroyed the city's fragile existing infrastructure. Storm made landfall in Louisiana on September 23 with 15 hours of hurricane winds and an 8-foot storm surge flooding. Hurricane force winds lasted 15 hours. In 1718, 3 feet (1m) high levees protected New Orleans from both river and tidal overflow (today they are 17 feet (5.2 m) high). The buildings in New Orleans suffered extensive destruction, though they were not of high grade construction having been hastily constructed when New Orleans was initially selected to be the capital of the Louisiana Company in 1717-18. The bayou between New Orleans and Biloxi was filled with two to three feet (0.6-0.9 m) of water as a result of the storm and all ships at port were destroyed. Rainfall and flooding were reported to have lasted for five days. This storm was responsible for moving Mobile from its old site 27 miles (43 km) north of the mouth of the Mobile River to its present-day site. This same storm likely re-curved northeast and headed into South Carolina as they reported three days of flooding rains in SC around the 27th.[11]
1724 Maryland / Chesapeake Bay, Virginia August 23 [O.S. August 12] N/A Known as the "Great Gust of 1724". Almost all tobacco and much of the corn crops were destroyed by this violent tropical storm, which struck Chesapeake Bay. Violent floods of rain and prodigious gust of wind were seen upon the James river. Some homes were wrecked and several vessels were driven ashore. Storm was likely followed by a second hurricane just five days later causing rain for many straight days that caused the Virginia floods of 1724.[12]
1724 Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania August 28 [O.S. August 17] Second of two hurricanes that passed through the area within 5 days. Another violent storm system came through affecting Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania with violent winds, flooding and rain. This system and The Great Gust of 1724 systems are among the most significant tropical storms to affect the Mid-Atlantic during the colonial period of the late 1600s and 1700s.[12]

Main article: 1780 Atlantic hurricane season

The 1780 Atlantic hurricane season was extraordinarily destructive, and was the deadliest Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history with over 25,000 deaths. Four different hurricanes, three in October and one in June, caused at least 1,000 deaths each; this event has never been repeated and only in the 1893 and 2005 seasons were there two such hurricanes. The season also held the deadliest Atlantic tropical cyclone of all time.
