In 1896 An early season snow and ice storm struck the
southeastern U.S. It produced 11 inches of snow at
Charlotte NC, and six inches at Atlanta GA.
In 1925 A late season hurricane caused extensive damage across
the Florida peninsula, then moved off the Georgia coast
crossing Cape Hatteras as a tropical storm. The storm
produced whole gales along the Middle Atlantic and
Southern New England coast. Winds gusted to 60 mph at
Block Island RI, and reached 64 mph at Atlantic City. NJ,
In 1950 A late season tornado killed four persons in Madison and
Bond counties east of St Louis MO. Three tornadoes
touched down in Illinois that afternoon, compared to just
half a dozen tornadoes in the month of December in 115
years of records up until that time. Thunderstorms also
produced hail which caused more than four million dollars
damage in the St Louis area...it was the most damaging
hailstorm of record for Missouri.
In 1970 A tornado, 400 yards in width, touched down about one
mile below the summit of Timpanogos Divide. Trees up to
18 inches in diameter were snapped, and some of the 38
inch snow cover was carried 1000 feet above the ground as
the tornado traveled one mile.
In 1982 A tornado destroyed a home four miles south of Eastwood
MO. The owners were not injured in that tornado, but
ironically one was killed Christmas Eve when another
tornado hit the replacement mobile home on the same site.
The same day, tornadoes struck the Twin Lakes subdivision
of western Little Rock. The sky became a dark green at
mid-afternoon, with tornado sirens echoing through the air.

produced high winds and heavy rain along the northern and
central Pacific coast. Winds gusted to 80 mph south of
Port Orford OR, Stevens Pass WA was blanketed with
sixteen inches of snow, and Blue Canyon CA was soaked
