 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 1917 The temperature at Denver CO dipped to zero, and at Soda
            Butte WY the mercury plunged to 33 degrees below zero, a
            U.S. record for the month of October.
    In 1942 A tornado struck the town of Berryville in northwest
            Arkansas killing 20 persons and causing half a million
            dollars damage.
    In 1956 A violent tornado, or series of tornadoes, moved along a
            path more than 100 miles in length from south of North
            Platte NE into Rock County NE.  It was an unusually late
            occurence so far north and west in the U.S. for such a
            storm.
    In 1987 Severe thunderstorms in Arizona produced wind gusts to 86
            mph at the Glendale Airport near Phoenix, baseball size
            hail and 70 mph winds at Wickenburg, and up to an inch of
            rain in fifteen minutes in Yavapai County and northwest
            Maricopa County.  Arizona Public Service alone reported
            2.5 million dollars damage from the storms.
    In 1988 Wintry weather prevailed in the Upper Midwest.  South
            Bend IN equalled their record for October with a low of
            23 degrees.  International Falls MN reported a record low
            of 11 degrees in the morning, then dipped down to
            8 degrees above zero late in the evening.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
            severe weather in Oklahoma and north central Texas during
            the late afternoon and evening hours.  Thunderstorms in
            Oklahoma produced weak tornadoes near Snyder and
            Davidson, and produced hail two inches in diameter at
            Altus.  Large hail damaged 60 to 80 percent of the cotton
            crop in Tillman County OK. Nine cities in the northeastern
            U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date as
            readings warmed into the 70s.  For Marquette MI, it marked
            their fifth straight day of record warmth.  Arctic cold
            invaded the western U.S. Lows of 7 above at Alamosa CO and
            9 above at Elko NV were records for the date.
    In 2003 A powerful storm battered Washington state, knocking out
            power to thousands of people, with battering waves severely
            damaging a dockside restaurant in Mukilteo. While no one
            was injured at the restaurant, one person was killed by a
            falling tree elsewhere. 
    In 2011 (29th-30th) An intense nor'easter brought heavy wet snow to
            much of the northeast U.S. from Pennsylvania and Virginia
            into Maine and the rest of New England. Over 4 million
            people were without power, and at least 5 fatalities
            occurred in the storm. The heavy wet snow falling onto
            trees that still had fall foliage on them, brought many
            branches crashing down onto roads and power lines.
            Widespread travel disruptions occurred as well. It was
            earliest winter (October) snow on record in some areas,
            with many areas having more than a foot or more of snow.
    In 2012 (22nd-31st) After affecting the Caribbean, causing flooding
            and deaths in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Bahamas,
            Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy made landfall at Atlantic City,
            New Jersey, with 80 mph winds, and a pressure of 946
            millibars (27.93"). A large area of warnings for high
            winds, flooding, and even blizzard conditions was across
            much of the eastern US from the Carolinas into New
            England. Millions of people were without power, and all
            modes of transportation to and from the northeast US were
            shut down, because of the storm.
