    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 1844 The famous "Lower Great Lakes Storm" occurred.
            Southwesterly winds were at hurricane force for five
            hours, driving lake waters into downtown Buffalo NY.  The
            storm drowned 200 persons.
    In 1961 Rain changed to a record early, heavy wet snow over the
            southern mountains of West Virginia.  Leaves were still
            on trees, resulting in the worst forest disaster since
            the fires of 1952-1953.  One to two feet of snow fell
            near Summersville and Richwood.  (19th-20th)
    In 1984 Thunderstorms deluged the town of Odem TX (located
            15 miles northwest of Corpus Christi) with 25 inches of
            rain in just three and a half hours.  Most businesses in
            Odem were flooded, as were 1000 homes in nearby Sinton.
    In 1987 A cold front brought rainshowers to parts of the central
            U.S., and ushered cool Canadian air into the Great Plains
            Region.  Daytime highs were in the 30s in North Dakota
            and eastern Montana.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms produced high winds in eastern Colorado,
            with gusts to 63 mph reported at La Junta.
    In 1989 Record breaking snows fell across northern and central
            Indiana.  Totals ranged up to 10.5 inches at Kokomo, with
            9.3 inches reported at Indianapolis.  The 8.8 inch total
            at South Bend was a record for the month as a whole.  Up
            to seven inches fell in extreme southern Lower Michigan,
            and up to six inches fell in southwest Ohio.  The heavy
            wet snow downed many trees and power lines.  Half the
            city of Cincinnati OH was without electricity during the
            morning hours. Temperatures dipped below freezing across
            much of the Great Plains Region.  Twenty cities, fourteen
            in Texas, reported record low temperatures for the date.
            North Platte NE reported a record low of 11 degrees.
            Four cities in Florida reported record high temperatures
            for the date.  The record high of 92 degrees at Miami was
            also marked a record fourteen days of 90 degree weather
            in October, and 116 such days for the year.
    In 2000 Hurricane Michael, with 85 mph winds, struck Newfoundland
            in the Canadian maritimes. Shortly before landfall, Michael
            had 100 mph winds, reported by a ship that was caught in it
            just offshore.
