![Wikipedia screenshot: Less than four days after the attack began, a sudden, very heavy thunderstorm—possibly a hurricane—put out the fires. It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital, setting down on Constitution Avenue[48] and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away and killing British troops and American civilians alike.[49] Following the storm, the British troops returned to their ships, many of which were badly damaged. There is some debate regarding the effect of this storm on the occupation. While some assert that the storm forced the British to retreat,[48] historians have argued that their intention was only to destroy the city's government buildings, rather than occupy it for an extended period.[50] It is also clear that Ross never intended to damage private buildings as had been recommended by Cockburn and Cochrane.[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:swf2pmz4lk42hkll35aqwowv/bafkreicpj4ok3b7rhd4mtziholtamaxst6q2rnea7bezxunx5tehucyhca)
