In 1882 An early season windstorm over Oregon and northern
California blew down thousands of trees and caused great
crop damage in the Sacramento Valley.
In 1898 A hurricane struck the Georgia coast washing away
Campbell Island.
In 1959 A tornado struck the town of Ivy VA (located near
Charlottesville). Eleven persons were killed, including
ten from one family.
In 1980 The temperature at Blue Canyon CA soared to 88 degrees,
an October record for that location.
In 1981 Severe thunderstorms raked Phoenix AZ with heavy rain,
high winds, and hail up to an inch and a half in
diameter, for the second day in a row. Thunderstorms on
the 1st deluged Phoenix with .68 inch of rain in five
minutes, equalling their all-time record.
In 1987 A fast moving cold front produced snow flurries from
Minnesota to the Appalachian Mountains, and gale force
winds behind the front ushered cold air into the Great
Lakes Region. Valentine NE reported a record low of
25 degrees. Temperatures recovered rapidly in the
Northern High Plains Region, reaching the low 80s by
afternoon. Jackson WY warmed from a morning low of
21 degrees to an afternoon high of 76 degrees.
In 1988 Early morning thunderstorms in Georgia produced three
inches of rain at Canton and Woodstock.
In 1989 Flooding due to thunderstorm rains in the southeastern
U.S. on the last day of September and the first day of
October caused the Etowah River to rise seven feet above
flood stage at Canton GA. Thunderstorms produced up to
ten inches of rain in northeastern Georgia, with six
inches reported at Athens GA in 24 hours. One man was
killed, and another man was injured, when sucked by
floodwaters into drainage lines.
In 2014 (2nd-3rd) Widespread severe weather occurred across
Arkansas, with over 80 reports of severe weather. There
were at least 5 hail reports, 3 tornadoes, and the rest
were damaging wind. One man was killed in Malvern, AR,
