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 1882 Hot and dry winds caused tree foliage in eastern Kansas
to wither and crumble.
In 1977 Thunderstorms deluged the Kansas City area with
torrential rains in the early morning hours, and then
again that evening. Some places were deluged with more
than six inches of rain twice that day, with up to
18 inches of rain reported at Independence MO. Flooding
claimed the lives of 25 persons. The Country Club Plaza
area was hardest hit. 2000 vehicles had to be towed
following the storm, 150 of which had to be pulled out of
Brush Creek, which runs through the Plaza area.
In 1979 Hurricane Frederick smashed into the Mobile Bay area of
Alabama packing 132 mph winds. Winds gusts to 145 mph
were reported as the eye of the hurricane moved over
Dauphin Island AL, just west of Mobile. Frederick
produced a fifteen foot storm surge near the mouth of
Mobile Bay. The hurricane was the costliest in U.S.
history causing 2.3 billion dollars damage.
In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain which
caused flooding in North Carolina, West Virginia,
Virginia and Pennsylvania. Parts of Virginia received 3
to 4 inches of rain in just two hours early in the day.
Later in the day, 3 to 5 inch rains deluged Cumberland
County of south central Pennsylvania. Evening
thunderstorms produced seven inches of rain at Marysville
PA, most of which fell in three hours time.
In 1988 An afternoon thunderstorm spawned a tornado which skipped
across northern sections of Indianapolis IN damaging
roofs and automobiles. It was the first tornado in
central Indiana in September in nearly forty years of
records. Hurricane Gilbert plowed across the island of
Jamaica, and by the end of the day was headed for the
Cayman Islands, packing winds of 125 mph.
In 1989 Snow whitened the mountains and foothills of northeast
Colorado, with eight inches reported at Buckhorn
Mountain, west of Fort Collins. Two to three inches fell
around Denver, causing great havoc during the evening
rush hour. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the
Southern Plains Region between mid afternoon and early the
next morning. Thunderstorms produced hail three inches in
diameter at Roswell NM, and wind gusts greater than
98 mph at Henryetta OK. Thunderstorms also produced
torrential rains, with more than seven inches at Scotland
TX, with more than six inches at Yukon OK.
In 1999 Hurricane Floyd, with 150 mph winds, covered much of the
Atlantic Ocean, just off the Florida Coast.
In 2002 Santaquin, UT, was hit with 3 devastating mudslides,
that were caused by a combination of recent heavy rain,
hail, and wildfires. Widespread damage resulted.
In 2003 Typhoon Maemi, with 135 mph winds, hammered South Korea,
killing at least 87, leaving thousands homeless, and downed
trees, powerlines, and caused a landslide. Storm totals
were over 10 inches in many areas...and it was the worst
storm to hit the region in nearly a centry.
In 2013 An estimated 6 to 10 inches of rain fell during 12 to 18
hours along Colorado's Rocky Mountain Range, from Boulder
south to Colorad Springs...causing residents to be
evacuated, washing out roads, and killing at least 3.
Several communities were cut off by the floodwaters.
