On this day...
   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
   weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1894 A heavy late season snow blanketed parts of the northeastern
           U.S.  Heavier snowfall totals included 31.5 inches at Salem
           Corners PA, 30 inches at LeRoy NY, 26 inches at York PA,
           14 inches at Waterbury CT, and 9 inches at Providence RI.
   In 1929 A major outbreak of tornadoes occurred in northeast Arkansas;
           with 49 fatalities. One of the tornadoes, which travelled
           fron south of Batesville to north of Swifton to south of
           Alicia was the only F-5 tornado on record for Arkansas.
   In 1935 Severe dust storms across Iowa and Kansas closed schools
           and highways.  Dodge City KS experienced its worst dust
           storm of record, with dense dust reported from the morning
           of the 9th until after sunset on the 11th.  The sky was
           almost as dark as night at times during the daylight hours.
           The thick dust suspended traffic on highways and railroads,
           nd also suspended most business in town.
   In 1965 Six people were killed in a tornado at Conway, Arkansas,
           northwest of Little Rock. This was the beginning of a major
           tornado outbreak the next day in the Great Lakes and Ohio
           Valley.
   In 1979 A massive (F-5) tornado hit Wichita Falls TX, killing 43
           persons, and causing 300 million dollars damage.  Another
           tornado struck Vernon TX killing eleven persons. The day
           became known as "Terrible Tuesday".
   In 1983 A dust devil formed over a field in Alaska's Tanana Valley,
           destroying a greenhouse, and blowing its debris 600 feet
           away.
   In 1987 Blustery northwest winds prevailed across the Northern Plains
           Region.  Winds in Wyoming gusted to 65 mph.  Temperatures in
           North Dakota were only in the 20s and 30s, following
           afternoon highs in the 70s the previous day.
   In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the western U.S.
           Eleven cities reported new record high temperatures for the
           date, including Bakersfield CA with a reading of 95 degrees,
           their warmest for so early in the season.  Pocatello ID
           warmed from a record low of 19 above to an afternoon high of
           63 degrees.
   In 1989 Strong northerly winds, gusting to 53 mph at Albuquerque NM,
           ushered cold arctic air into the south central U.S.  The
           temperature at Albuquerque plunged from 82 degrees to 29
           degrees overnight.  Thirty-three cities in the central U.S.
           reported record low temperatures for the date, including
           Goodland KS with a reading of 4 degrees above zero.
   In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Central Gulf
           Coast Region to western sections of the Carolinas during the
           afternoon and evening.  Evening thunderstorms over western
           South Carolina produced wind gusts to 98 mph which injured
           four persons at Holly Springs, and wind gusts to 100 mph
           which injured one person and caused half a million dollars
           damage north of Dacusville.
   In 2013 At least 24 homes in Hazelwood, Missouri, sustained severe
           damage from severe storms, which pummeled the St. Louis
           area and elsewhere across the state. Another tornado
           touched down in Arkansas, damaging at least 33 homes, and
           leaving three people injured in Van Buren County, about 75
           miles north of Little Rock. The tornado demolished the
           sanctuary, fellowship area, classrooms, and a pavilion at
           Botkinburg Foursquare Church. Damage also was reported in
           several other areas, and storm spotters reported overturned
           vehicles along U.S. 65, north of Clinton. Flash Flooding
           occurred around Montain View, near the Missouri border, and
           downburst winds from 60 to 70 mph were reported in some
           areas. Lightning sparked fires caused house fires near
           Searcy and Pangburn. The next day, a violent and extremely
           dangerous tornado was spotted near Macon, Mississippi, in
           Nouxubee County. The storms continued to the east coast on
           the 12th. Tragically, several injuries and some fatalities
           were blamed on the squall line of severe thunderstorms
           (10th-12th).
