    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 1926 The temperature at Yellowstone Park dipped to nine
            degrees below zero.  It was the coldest reading of record
            in the U.S. during September.  Severe freezes were
            widespread over the northwestern U.S. causing great crop
            destruction.  Spokane County WA experienced their
            earliest snow of record.  Harney Branch Experiment
            Station in Oregon reported a temperature of 2 degrees
            above zero to establish a state record for the month of
            September.
    In 1950 A smoke pall from western Canada forest fires covered
            much of the eastern U.S.  Daylight was reduced to
            nighttime darkness in parts of the Northeast.  The color
            of the sun varied from pink to purple, blue, or lavendar.
            Yellow to grey-tan was common.  (24th-30th)
    In 1972 Lightning struck a man near Waldport OR.  The young
            man happened to be carrying thirty-five pieces
            of dynamite. A late evening thunderstorm produced
            downburst winds at Bismarck ND estimated at 125 to 150 mph.
    In 1987 The first full day of autumn proved to be a pleasant one
            for much of the nation, with sunny skies and mild
            temperatures.  Thunderstorms again formed over Florida
            and the southwestern deserts, and also formed along a
            cold front in the northeastern U.S.  A storm spotter at
            Earp CA sighted a couple of funnel clouds, one on the
            California side of the state line, and the other on the
            Arizona side.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front
            produced large hail and damaging winds in the
            southeastern U.S., with reports of severe weather most
            numerous in North Carolina.  Golf ball size hail was
            reported at Tick Creek and a number of other locations in
            North Carolina.
    In 1989 Forty-seven cities between the Rockies and the
            Appalachians reported record low temperatures for the
            date.  Lows of 38 at Abilene TX, 34 at Jackson KY, and 36
            at Midland TX established records for the month of
            September.  The low of 36 degrees at Midland smashed
            their previous record for the date by thirteen degrees.
            Fayetteville AR and Springfield MO reported their
            earliest freeze of record. Thunderstorms produced
            torrential rains in northeastern Florida. Jacksonville was
            deluged with 11.40 inches of rain, and flash flooding
            resulted in two deaths.
    In 2001 An F-3 tornado struck the University Of Maryland campus at
            College Park, Maryland. Two sisters were killed when their
            car went airborne from the tornado. Over 50 were injured,
            and many other vehicles and buildings had their windows
            blown out, or suffered other damage. It was the deadliest
            tornado to strike the Baltimore/Washington area since 1929,
            and Maryland's first September killer tornado. Tornadoes
            also struck Culpepper County, Virginia, causing damage.
