Claim: The North Sea Flood of 2007, which occurred as a result of Hurricane Noel, caused minor damage when the storm surge came in at 20 centimeters less than the forecast.
Evidence: Combining with the remnants of Hurricane Noel, Tilo's storm surge led to the North Sea flood of 2007, affecting the coastlines of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Norway and Belgium, starting on the night of 8–9 November 2007. However, in the event, the storm surge was 20 centimetres (7.9 in) less than forecast, and damage was relatively minor.
