In 1845 A tornado traveled an amazing 275 miles across Lake Ontario,
New York and Lake Champlain.
In 1926 The hurricane which hit Miami FL on the 18th, pounded
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
spawned a record 115 tornadoes.
In 1983 The temperature at West Yellowstone MT plunged to
six degrees below zero, while the temperature at
San Francisco CA soared to 94 degrees.
In 1987 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
weather in Oklahoma and west Texas. In Oklahoma,
a thunderstorm at Seiling produced three inches of rain
in one hour, golf ball size hail, and wind gusts to
60 mph which collapsed a tent at the state fair injuring
nine persons.
In 1988 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in
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.

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
winds. This area was also hit by Hurricane Michelle just
10 months earlier. Several tornadoes plowed across Indiana
ahead of a strong cold front. Indianapolis and Martinsville
were particularly hard hit.
