813 years ago today, an English raiding party stumbled into the largest invasion fleet ever assembled in Europe. They were outnumbered five to one.

So they burned it to the waterline anyway.

It is 1213. King John of England is the most hated monarch in Europe. The Pope has excommunicated him. His own barons are plotting his overthrow. And King Philip II of France, the most brilliant strategist of his age, has just been handed a papal blessing to invade England and take the crown for himself.

Philip assembled the largest French fleet in history. Roughly 1,700 ships sat in the harbor of Damme on the Flemish coast, loaded with siege engines, horses, wine, treasure, and 15,000 men. Philip himself was a few miles inland, besieging the rebellious city of Ghent. The wind was right. The fleet would sail any day.

John had nothing left. Almost.

He sent his half-brother, William Longespée, Earl of Salisbury, with 500 ships and a small force of knights and Flemish mercenaries. Their mission was not even to fight the French fleet. They were supposed to scout for a landing site in support of a rebel count. Salisbury sailed across the Channel, rounded the coast of Flanders, and on the morning of May 30 looked into the harbor of Damme.

He saw it. 1,700 masts. The end of England.

Then he saw something else: the harbor was almost empty of men.

Philip had let the crews go ashore to plunder the Flemish countryside. The ships were anchored in tight rows, packed full of loot, barely guarded. The greatest invasion fleet in the world was sitting unmanned in shallow water.

Salisbury did not hesitate. English ships rowed straight in. They cut anchor cables. They threw firepots into the rigging. They herded captured galleys out into open water. By nightfall they had taken or burned 300 ships. By dawn on May 31 they had destroyed 100 more.

Philip, racing back from Ghent, watched the smoke from miles away. He realized he could not save the rest. So he gave the order himself. Burn what is left. Do not let it fall into English hands.

In one afternoon, the French navy ceased to exist for a generation.

The invasion of England was canceled. John kept his throne, briefly. The barons forced him to sign Magna Carta two years later. The entire foundation of English liberty rests on the fact that England was never invaded that summer.

It was not invaded because 500 Englishmen burned a navy while the owners were out shopping.

I just wanted to warn other X users of a phishing scam. Last night, I received a warning about copyright violations purportedly from X -- saying that they would be suspending the account unless I filed an appeal. ("To avoid suspension, please submit an appeal within 48 hours. Failure to do so may result in account suspension under X’s repeat-infringer policy."). I confirmed that it was a scam and did not appeal. However, it looked very real, including the inclusion of two past postings.

@JenGriffinFNC The quickest way to clear a minefield, drive several empty Iranian tankers/cargo thru the Strait and see if they set off any mines. One way or another you will have a clear path.

It may feel more like summer, but spring is finally here! 🌼

[ABC15 Arizona @abc15]

ANOTHER HEATER! ☀️ Phoenix just hit 105º, making it the hottest day in March on record. It's also the earliest we've reached this temperature. The previous record was set on April 20, 1989. https://t.co/QuRP60W052

As of 2:57 pm MST Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport has reached 100°. This is not only the first 100° day of 2026, but it is also the earliest occurrence of 100° in Phoenix (which last occurred on March 26, 1988). #azwx

[NWS Phoenix @NWSPhoenix]

Sky Harbor Airport reached 101° at 2:59 pm MST. This sets a new record high temperature for the month of March. Stay tuned for the official high temperature post. #azwx

It's that time of year again for a unique phenomenon in the Superstition Mountains: the iconic cougar shadow! Twice a year, around the spring and fall equinox, a shadow is cast on the mountains that looks just like a prowling cougar.

You'll likely have the best chance of checking out the shadow, weather permitting, starting this weekend. https://t.co/11q2QnUiUD

It's time...to sit back and relax! ⏰ March 8 marks the start of Daylight Saving Time for most of the United States. But unlike almost everywhere else, Arizona doesn't observe DST and hasn't done so for about the last 40 years. https://t.co/PGUqHfceGa

[ABC15 Arizona @abc15]

It's only the start of March, but we are already breaking the daily record and marking the earliest 93° ever recorded in Phoenix.

The previous earliest was March 5, 1972 — and we beat it by several days.

Watch your step! Warmer temperatures are creating better weather conditions for some desert creatures. 🐍 https://t.co/6P0BKAITRA

[ABC15 Arizona @abc15]

Goodbye, winter temps! Phoenix reached a high of 92° on Saturday, breaking its daily record again and tying its February high temp record with yesterday.

[Holly Bock @HollyBockTV]

Welp, it's official.

Phoenix sees its first 90 degree day of 2026 on February 27. On average, we see our first 90 on March 30. This isn't the earliest 90 though, that happened on Feb 17, 2016.

We will be getting even warmer this weekend.
