Today is Monday  September 4, 2017.
This is the 247th day of the year, there are 118 days left.

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 1939 A thunderstorm deluged Washington D.C. with 4.4 inches of
           rain in two hours.  September of that year was very dry
           across much of the nation, and Washington D.C. received
           more rain in that two hour period than most other places
           in the country that entire month.
   In 1970 The greatest natural disaster of record for Arizona
           occurred.  Unprecedented rains caused rivers in central
           Arizona to rise five to ten feet per hour, sweeping cars
           and buildings as far as 30 to 40 miles downstream.
           Flooding claimed the lives of 23 persons, mainly campers,
           and caused millions of dollars damage.  Water crested 36
           feet above normal near Sunflower AZ.  Workman's Creek was
           deluged with 11.40 inches of rain in 24 hour to establish
           a state record.  Moisture from Pacific Tropical Storm
           Norma led to the severe flooding.  (4th-6th)
   In 1986 An unusually strong dust devil moved across the Flagstaff
           Pulliam Airport.  The dust devil blew open the doors of
           the National Weather Service office scattering papers and
           bringing down a ceiling-mounted light fixture.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front
           produced heavy rain across the Southern Atlantic Coast
           States.  Up to eight inches was reported north of
           Charleston SC.  Serious flooding was reported in Monks
           Corner SC.  Seven cities in the northeastern U.S.
           reported record low temperatures for the date.
           Houlton ME dipped to 32 degrees.
   In 1988 The western U.S. experienced another day of record heat.
           The afternoon high of 91 degrees at Stampede Pass WA
           established an all-time record for that location, and Los
           Angeles CA equalled their all-time record high with a
           reading of 110 degrees.  The record high of 107 degrees
           at San Diego CA was their hottest reading in 25 years.
           Red Bluff CA was the hot spot in the nation with an
           afternoon high of 118 degrees.
   In 1989 Overnight thunderstorm rains of four and a half to seven
           inches drenched eastern Nebraska during the morning
           hours, pushing creeks out of their banks, and flooding
           fields, country roads and city streets.  Totals ranged up
           to 6.97 inches south of Creston.  It was also a soggy
           Labor Day for northern Florida, with 6.82 inches of rain
           reported at Jacksonville.  Evening thunderstorms produced
           2.75 inches of rain in one hour at Sandlewood FL.
   In 2010 After being as strong as a category 4 hurricane with 145
           winds a few days earlier...Tropical Storm Earl with 70
           mph winds, extending out 205 miles from the center, came
           ashore near Western Head Nova Scotia...producing a wide
           area of tropical storm force winds and flooding rain.
   In 2012 Strong winds from a Bering Sea storm impacted portions of
           southern Alaska, from the Aleutians to south-central
           Alaska, Tuesday evening through the overnight hours. Winds
           of 50-60 mph were prevalent in Anchorage, with gusts to
           over 100 mph observed just east of Anchorage in the higher
           elevations.
