Today is Sunday  October 22, 2017.
This is the 295th day of the year, there are 70 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 1965 The temperature soared to 104 degrees at San Diego CA.
           Southern California was in the midst of a late October
           heat wave that year.  Los Angeles had ten consecutive
           days with afternoon highs reaching 100 degrees.
   In 1985 A guest on the top floor of a hotel in Seattle WA was
           seriously injured while talking on the phone when
           lightning struck.  Several persons are killed each year
           when the electrical charge from a lightning bolt travels
           via telephone wiring.
   In 1987 Yakutat AK surpassed their previous all-time yearly
           precipitation total of 190 inches.  Monthly records
           were set in June with 17 inches, in September with
           70 inches, and in October with more than 40 inches.
           Twenty-two cities in the eastern U.S., most in the
           southeast, reported record low temperatures for the date.
           Morning lows of 30 at Athens GA, 28 at Birmingham AL, and
           23 at Pinson AL, were the coldest of record for so early
           in the season. Showers produced heavy rain in southern
           California, with amounts ranging up to five inches at
           Blue Jay.  Flash flooding resulted in two deaths, ten
           injuries, and more than a million dollars damage.
   In 1988 A "nor'easter" swept across the coast of New England.
           Winds gusted to 75 mph, and large waves and high tides
           caused extensive shoreline flooding.  A heavy wet snow
           blanketed much of eastern New York State, with a foot of
           snow reported in Lewis County.
   In 1989 A storm system moving out of the Gulf of Alaska brought
           rain to the Northern and Central Pacific Coast Region,
           with snow in some of the mountains of Oregon, and wind
           gusts to 60 mph along the Oregon coast.  Six cities in
           Florida reported record low temperatures for the date,
           including Tallahassee with a reading of 34 degrees.
