More than 80 homes in Chiswell were destroyed and 25 people died during the storm in 1824.
The story of a deadly storm that flooded homes and destroyed villages 200 years ago is touring Dorset.
A free exhibition, including personal stories and accounts from that night, has opened in Weymouth and will travel to four other locations. Environment Agency coastal engineer Neil Watson said: "We can learn so much about our coast and its vulnerability to flooding from history. The exhibition, organised by Dorset Coast Forum in collaboration with the Environment Agency and BCP Council, will be at Weymouth Library until Wednesday.
