 Today is Thursday  September 20, 2012.
 This is the 264th day of the year, there are 102 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1845 A tornado traveled an amazing 275 miles across Lake Ontario,
            New York and Lake Champlain.
    In 1926 The hurricane which hit Miami FL on the 18th, pounded
            Pensacola FL with wind gusts to 152 mph.  Winds raged in
            excess of 100 mph for four hours, and above 75 mph for 20
            hours.
    In 1967 Hurricane Beulah moved into South Texas, and  torrential
            rains from the hurricane turned the rich agricultural
            areas of South Texas into a large lake.  Beulah also
            spawned a record 115 tornadoes.
    In 1983 The temperature at West Yellowstone MT plunged to
            six degrees below zero, while the temperature at
            San Francisco CA soared to 94 degrees.
    In 1987 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
            weather in Oklahoma and west Texas.  In Oklahoma,
            a thunderstorm at Seiling produced three inches of rain
            in one hour, golf ball size hail, and wind gusts to
            60 mph which collapsed a tent at the state fair injuring
            nine persons.
    In 1988 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in
            central Wyoming, and snow in some of the higher
            elevations.  Casper WY reported 1.75 inches of rain in 24
            hours, and a thunderstorm north of the Wild Horse
            Reservoir produced 1.90 inches of rain in just 40 minutes.
            Hugo jilted Iris.  Hurricane Hugo churned toward the
            Southern Atlantic Coast, gradually regaining strength
            along the way.  Tropical Storm Iris got too close to
            Hugo, and began to weaken.
    In 1989 A cold front brought strong and gusty winds to the Great
            Basin and the Southern Plateau Region, with wind gusts to
            44 mph reported at Kingman AZ.
    In 2000 Violent thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley caused
            significant damage in many areas...especially in Xenia,
            Ohio...which was hit by an F-4 tornado. It brought back
            memories of The Tornado Super Outbreak back in April, 1974.
            when an F-5 tornado destroyed much of the city.
    In 2002 Hurricane Isidore, which deluged Jamaica days earlier as
            a tropical storm, slammed into western Cuba with 105 mph
            winds. This area was also hit by Hurricane Michelle just
            10 months earlier. Several tornadoes plowed across Indiana
            ahead of a strong cold front. Indianapolis and Martinsville
            were particularly hard hit.
