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
Kaibab National Forest north of the Grand Canyon. 200
acres were completely destroyed, and scattered
destruction occurred across another 3300 acres. Many
trees were snapped off at 15 to 30 feet above ground
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
Lake ND with a reading of 22 degrees. Jackson KY
reported a record low of 41 degrees during the late
afternoon. Strong northwest winds ushering cold air into
the central and northeastern U.S. gusted to 55 mph at
Indianapolis IN. Winds along the cold front gusted to 65
mph at Norfolk VA, and thunderstorms along the cold front
deluged Roseland NJ with 2.25 inches of rain in one hour.
The temperature at Richmond VA plunged from 84 degrees to
54 degrees in two hours. Snow and sleet was reported at
Binghamton NY.
