 On this day...
    In 1861 A hurricane near Cape Hatteras NC battered a Union fleet
            of ships attacking Carolina ports, and produced high
            tides and high winds in New York State and New England.
    In 1966 Santa Ana winds fanned fires, and brought record
            November heat to parts of coastal California.
            November records included 86 degrees at San Francisco, 97
            degrees at San Diego, and 101 degrees at the
            international airport in Los Angeles.  Fires claimed
            the lives of at least 16 firefighters.
    In 1968 A tornado touched down west of Winslow AZ, but did little
            damage in an uninhabited area.
    In 1987 Early morning thunderstorms in central Arizona produced
            hail an inch in diameter at Williams and Gila Bend,
            and drenched Payson with 1.86 inches of rain.  Hannagan
            Meadows AZ, meanwhile, was blanketed with three inches of
            snow.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed across the
            Ohio Valley.  Afternoon highs of 76 at Beckley WV, 77 at
            Bluefield WV, and 83 at Lexington KY were records for
            November.
    In 1988 Low pressure brought gales and locally heavy rain to the
            northeastern U.S.  The rainfall total of 1.46 inches at
            Newark NJ was a record for the date.  New York City was
            soaked with more than two inches of rain.
    In 1989 A strong cold front ushered snow and arctic air into the
            north central U.S.  Snow whitened North Dakota and the
            Central High Plains Region.  Up to five inches of snow
            blanketed Denver CO.  Yellowstone Park WY was the cold
            spot in the nation with a morning low of 4 degrees below
            zero.
    In 1991 In Charleston, WV visibility was 1/8 mile in smoke and
            falling ash from brush fires that started in late October.
