Butler said following the hurricane, there was not a lot of surviving documentation to tell what happened in the conflict. The English marched throughout the Lowcountry in search of the Spanish based on “limited information” but never found them or had a confrontation since the hurricane pushed the Spanish away.
While the hurricane deterred a Spanish attack, Butler said both the Spanish and English learned a very important lesson.
“This time of year is not a good time to launch a military campaign because it’s hurricane season,” Butler said.
He added the English in Charleston and Lowcountry refined their knowledge year after year of when hurricane season was. England doesn’t get hurricanes, but the English had some experience with the storms in Barbados, Jamaica and Antigua.
