The disaster took place in the night of Saturday, January 31 to Sunday, February 1, 1953. The cause was a storm surge in combination with spring tide, which caused the water level in the southern North Sea to become extremely high. The number of deaths was 1836. At this spot you can see the +3.75 meters above sea level indicated.
