In 1947 The eye of a hurricane passed directly over New Orleans,
and the barometric pressure dipped to 28.61 inches. The
hurricane killed 51 persons, and caused 110 million
dollars damage. It produced wind gusts to 155 mph while
making landfall over Fort Lauderdale FL two days earlier.
In 1967 Hurricane Beulah deluged Brownsville TX with 12.19 inches
of rain in 24 hours, to establish a record for that
location. Hurricane Beulah made landfall on the 20th
near the mouth of the Rio Grande River, where a wind gust
to 135 mph was reported by a ship in the port. (19th-20th)
Beulah also spawned a total of 115 tornadoes, the most
ever from a tropical system.
In 1987 Cool autumn-like weather invaded the Central Rockies.
Temperatures dipped into the 30s and 40s, with teens and
20s reported in the higher elevations. Gunnison CO was
the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 15
degrees.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a fast moving cold front
produced severe weather in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana
and Michigan. Eight tornadoes were reported, including
five in Indiana. Thunderstorm winds gusted to 74 mph at
Wabash IN. Winds associated with the cold front itself
gusted to 69 mph at Kenosha WI.
In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in
the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast Region. Cape
Hatteras NC was deluged with nearly 3.50 inches of rain
in three hours. Syracuse NY reported 1.77 inches of
rain, a record for the date, and Chatham NJ reported
an all-time record of 3.45 inches in one day. Hurricane
Hugo headed for the Bahamas, and Tropical Storm Iris,
following close on its heels, strengthened to near
hurricane force.
In 1999 Tropical Storm Harvey formed in the Gulf of Mexico, and took
an unexpected southeast turn toward Naples, Florida; before

Pensacola FL with wind gusts to 152 mph. Winds raged in
excess of 100 mph for four hours, and above 75 mph for 20
hours.
In 1967 Hurricane Beulah moved into South Texas, and torrential
rains from the hurricane turned the rich agricultural
areas of South Texas into a large lake. Beulah also

central Wyoming, and snow in some of the higher
elevations. Casper WY reported 1.75 inches of rain in 24
hours, and a thunderstorm north of the Wild Horse
Reservoir produced 1.90 inches of rain in just 40 minutes.
Hugo jilted Iris. Hurricane Hugo churned toward the
Southern Atlantic Coast, gradually regaining strength
along the way. Tropical Storm Iris got too close to
Hugo, and began to weaken.
In 1989 A cold front brought strong and gusty winds to the Great
Basin and the Southern Plateau Region, with wind gusts to
44 mph reported at Kingman AZ.
In 2000 Violent thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley caused
significant damage in many areas...especially in Xenia,
Ohio...which was hit by an F-4 tornado. It brought back
memories of The Tornado Super Outbreak back in April, 1974.
when an F-5 tornado destroyed much of the city.
In 2002 Hurricane Isidore, which deluged Jamaica days earlier as
a tropical storm, slammed into western Cuba with 105 mph

In 1894 A heavy chicken house, sixteen by sixteen feet in area,
was picked up by a tornado and wedged between two trees.
The hens were found the next day sitting on their eggs in
the chicken house, with no windows broken, as though
nothing had happened.
In 1938 A great hurricane smashed into Long Island and bisected
New England causing a massive forest blowdown and
widespread flooding. Winds gusted to 186 mph at
Blue Hill MA, and a storm surge of nearly thirty feet
caused extensive flooding along the coast of Rhode
Island. The hurricane killed 600 persons and caused 500
million dollars damage. The hurricane, which lasted
twelve days, destroyed 275 million trees. Hardest hit
were Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Long
Island NY. The "Long Island Express" produced gargantuan
waves with its 150 mph winds. The waves smashed against
the New England shore with such force that earthquake-
recording machines on the Pacific coast clearly showed
the shock of each wave.
In 1954 The temperature at Deeth NV soared from a morning low of
12 degrees to a high of 87 degrees, a record daily warm-
up for the state.

previous afternoon, caused considerable damage to the
banana industry of Saint Vincent in the Windward Islands.
Unseasonably hot weather continued in Florida and the
western U.S. Redding CA and Red Bluff CA, with record
highs of 108 degrees, tied for honors as the hot spot in
the nation.
In 1988 Thunderstorms produced high winds and locally heavy rain
in the southwestern U.S. One thunderstorm in west Texas
produced wind gusts to 86 mph at Dell City completely
destroying an airport hangar. A Cessna 150 aircraft
housed within the hangar was flipped over and snapped in
two. Thunderstorms produced large hail in east central
Utah, while snow blanketed some of the higher elevations
of the state.
In 1989 Hurricane Hugo slammed into the South Carolina coast
about 11 PM, making landfall near Sullivans Island.
Hurricane Hugo was directly responsible for thirteen
deaths, and indirectly responsible for twenty-two others.

In 1890 A severe hailstorm struck Strawberry AZ. Five days after
the storm hail still lay in drifts 12 to 18 inches deep.
In 1913 Des Moines IA experienced their earliest freeze of record.
In 1961 Hurricane Esther made a near complete circle south of
Cape Cod. The hurricane then passed over Cape Cod and
hit Maine. Its energy was largely spent over the
North Atlantic Ocean, however, heavy rains over Maine
resulted in widespread local flooding of cellars, low
roads, and underpasses.
In 1983 Forty-one cities reported record cold temperatures during
the morning. Houston TX hit 50 degrees, and Williston ND
plunged to 19 above.
In 1987 Hurricane Emily, the first hurricane to roam the
Carribean in nearly six years, made landfall over the
Dominican Republic late in the day, packing 125 mph
winds. Emily killed three persons and caused thirty
million dollars damage. A record high of 92 degrees
at Miami FL was their fifth in a row.
In 1988 An early morning thunderstorm produced baseball size hail
at Plainview, in Hale County TX. Late in the evening
more thunderstorms in the Southern High Plains Region
produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Plainview TX and Crosby TX
In 1989 Hurricane Hugo quickly lost strength over South Carolina,
but still was a tropical storm as it crossed into North
Carolina, just west of Charlotte, at about 7 AM. Winds
around Charlotte reached 69 mph, with gusts to 99 mph.
Eighty percent of the power was knocked out to Charlotte
and Mecklenburg County. Property damage in North
Carolina was 210 million dollars, and damage to crops was
97 million dollars. The strongest storm surge occurred
along the southern coast shortly after midnight, reaching
nine feet above sea level at ocean Isle and Sunset Beach.
Hugo killed one person and injured 15 others in North
Carolina. Strong northwesterly winds ushered unseasonably
cold air into the north central U.S., in time for the
official start of autumn, at 8:20 PM CDT. Squalls produced
light snow in northern Wisconsin. Winds in Wisconsin gusted
to 52 mph at Rhinelander.
In 2000 Tropical Storm Helene struck Pensacola, Florida, bringing
more heavy rain to an area hit just days earlier by
Tropical Storm Gordon.
In 2002 Hurricane Isidore, which had just days before ravaged
parts of Cuba, hit the Yucatan Peninsula near Progreso,
Mexico, with 125 mph winds. It stayed over land a few days,
weakening it considerably, but producing flooding rains
over the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba, because of its large
circulation. Isidore weakened to a Tropical Storm by the
time it moved back into the Gulf Of Mexico...finally making
landfall near New Orleans as a Tropical Storm on the 26th.
In 2003 For the second time in just under a month, Baja California
was hit by a hurricane...this time, Hurricane Marty with
100 mph winds, coming ashore near San Jose Del Cabo. Heavy
rain of over 8 inches caused flooding and mudslides.
The remnants of Ivan, which hit Gulf Shores, Alabama and
adjacent areas on the 17th, had drifted off the southeast
U.S. Coast, then looped across south Florida, and into the
eastern Gulf Of Mexico...regenerating as a Tropical Storm
on the 22nd, coming ashore on the 23rd near Cameron,
Louisiana (22nd-23rd).

In 1815 One of the greatest hurricanes to strike New England made
landfall at Long Island and crossed Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. It was the worst tempest in nearly two
hundred years, equal to the hurricane which struck in
1938, and one of a series of severe summer and autumn
storms to affect shipping lanes that year.
In 1904 The temperature at Charlotteburg NJ dipped to 23 degrees,
the coldest reading of record for so early in the autumn
for the state.
In 1983 A thunderstorm downburst caused a timber blowdown in the

level.
In 1987 Autumn began on a rather pleasant note for much of the
nation. Showers and thunderstorms were confined to
Florida and the southwestern deserts. Warm weather
continued in the western U.S., and began to spread into
the Great Plains Region, but even in the southwestern
deserts readings remained below 100 degrees.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front in the south
central U.S. produced severe weather in Oklahoma during
the afternoon and early evening hours. Thunderstorms
produced softball size hail near Noble and Enterprise,
and baseball size hail at Lequire and Kinta. A tornado
near Noble OK destroyed a mobile home injuring one
person.
In 1989 Seventeen cities in the north central U.S. reported
record low temperatures for the date, including Devils

Earp CA sighted a couple of funnel clouds, one on the
California side of the state line, and the other on the
Arizona side.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front
produced large hail and damaging winds in the
southeastern U.S., with reports of severe weather most
numerous in North Carolina. Golf ball size hail was
reported at Tick Creek and a number of other locations in
North Carolina.
In 1989 Forty-seven cities between the Rockies and the
Appalachians reported record low temperatures for the
date. Lows of 38 at Abilene TX, 34 at Jackson KY, and 36
at Midland TX established records for the month of
September. The low of 36 degrees at Midland smashed
their previous record for the date by thirteen degrees.
Fayetteville AR and Springfield MO reported their
earliest freeze of record. Thunderstorms produced
torrential rains in northeastern Florida. Jacksonville was
deluged with 11.40 inches of rain, and flash flooding
resulted in two deaths.
In 2001 An F-3 tornado struck the University Of Maryland campus at
College Park, Maryland. Two sisters were killed when their
car went airborne from the tornado. Over 50 were injured,
and many other vehicles and buildings had their windows

In 1927 An outbreak of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Indiana caused
81 deaths and 25 million dollars damage. A tornado
(possibly two tornadoes) cut an eight-mile long path
across Saint Louis MO, to Granite City IL, killing 79
persons. The damage path at times was a mile and a
quarter in width. The storm followed a similar path to
tornadoes which struck in 1871, 1896, and 1959.
In 1938 5 tornadoes hit the Charleston SC area, damaging Market
and Broad Streets. 27 people died and 80 were injured.
In 1959 A storm produced 28 inches of snow at Colorado Springs CO.
In 1983 Heavy rains began in central and eastern Arizona which
culminated in the worst flood in the history of the
state. Eight to ten inch rains across the area caused
severe flooding in southeastern Arizona which resulted in
thirteen deaths and 178 million dollars damage.
President Reagan declared eight counties of Arizona to be
disaster areas.
In 1986 A week of violent weather began in Oklahoma which
culminated in one of the worst flooding events in the
history of the state. On the first day of the week early
morning thunderstorms caused more than a million dollars
damage in south Oklahoma City. Thunderstorms produced 4
to 7 inches of rain from Hobart to Ponca City, and
another round of thunderstorms that evening produced 7 to
10 inches of rain in north central and northeastern
sections of Oklahoma.
In 1987 A slow moving cold front produced rain from the Great
Lakes Region to the Central Gulf Coast Region. A late
afternoon thunderstorm produced wind gusts to 62 mph at
Buffalo NY. Warm weather continued in the western U.S.
The afternoon high of 96 degrees at Medford OR was a
record for the date.
In 1988 High pressure brought freezing temperatures to parts
of Vermont. Burlington VT dipped to 30 degrees, and
Binghamton NY reported a record low of 34 degrees. High
pressure also brought cold weather to the Central Rocky
Mountain Region. Alamosa CO reported a record low of 18
degrees, and Gunnison CO was the cold spot in the nation
with a morning low of just five degrees above zero.
In 1989 Seven cities reported record high temperatures for the
date, as readings soared into the 80s and low 90s in the
Northern Plateau and Northern Plains Region. Record
highs included 91 degrees at Boise ID and 92 degrees at
Sheridan WY. The high of 100 degrees at Tucson AZ marked
their 51st record high of the year, and their 92nd day of
100 degree weather.
In 2002 Just 9 days after being deluged by Tropical Storm Isidore,
Tropical Storm Lili brought more heavy rain and flooding
to Jamaica.

tinder dry, set up the worst fire conditions in
California history as hot Santa Ana winds sent the

producing 4 to 8 inches rains from Shawnee to Stilwell.
Baseball size hail and 80 mph winds ripped through parts
of southeast Oklahoma City, and thunderstorm winds caused
more than half a million dollars damage at Shawnee.
In 1987 Afternoon thunderstorms in Michigan produced hail an inch
in diameter at Pinckney, and wind gusts to 68 mph at
Wyandotte. A thunderstorm in northern Indiana produced
wet snow at South Bend. Seven cities in the northwestern
U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date,
including readings of 98 degrees at Medford OR and 101

developing along a cold front produced wind gusts to 60
mph at Wendover UT.
In 2015 It proved to be a dry September in much of Arkansas,
especially in central and south Arkansas. Only .03" was
measured in Pine Bluff, .04" at El Dorado, and .12" at
Little Rock...the latter being the driest September on
redord, dating back to 1874.
