		The first Phoenix arrived at Arromanches at dawn on 9 June and by 18 June 115 had been sunk in a huge 5-mile-long arc around the town, from Tracy in the west to Asnelles in the east.
		After the storm, which lasted three days, there was no harbour left at OMAHA and a special camp had to be established on the beach to accommodate some 1,100 crew from the small vessels destroyed or blown on to the beach.
		The Arromanches harbour fared better and survived, battered but serviceable, a thankful matter since there were over 150 craft in the harbour at the time.
