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.

(3rd-4th)
In 1987 Twenty-one cities, mostly in the Ohio Valley, reported
record high temperatures for the date. The afternoon
high of 80 degrees at Columbus OH was their warmest
reading of record for so late in the season. Showers and
thundershowers associated with a tropical depression
south of Florida produced 4.28 inches of rain at
Clewiston in 24 hours.

Summer" in the north central U.S. Up to a foot of snow
blanketed Yellowstone Park WY, and winds in the mountains
near the Washoe Valley of southeastern Wyoming gusted to
78 mph. Unseasonably warm weather continued in the south
central U.S. Del Rio TX tied Laredo TX and McAllen TX
for honors as the hot spot in the nation with a record
warm afternoon high of 91 degrees.
In 1989 Cold weather prevailed in the central U.S. Six cities in
Texas, Minnesota, and Michigan, reported record low
temperatures for the date. The low of 7 above zero at
Marquette MI was their coldest reading of record for so
early in the season.
In 2000 Sydney, Austrailia was pummeled by golfball sized hail.
In 2002 Dense Fog caused a pileup of over 200 vehicles near
Long Beach, California. Rescue personnel had to cut many
victims from the wreckage of their crushed vehicles.

In 1927 A great Vermont flood occurred. Tropical rains deluged
the Green Mountain area of Vermont causing the worst
flood in the history of the state. Torrential rains, up
to 15 inches in the higher elevations, sent streams on a
rampage devastating the Winooski Valley. Flooding
claimed 200 lives and caused 40 million dollars damage.
The town of Vernon reported 84 deaths. Flooding left up
to eight to ten feet of water in downtown Montpelier VT.
(2nd-4th)
In 1979 100 mph chinook winds roared east of the Rockies in MT
and CO. In Boulder, winds blew from zephyrs to 90 mph in
seconds.
In 1985 A super wet Gulf storm dumped upwards of fifteen inches
of rain in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia
causing devastating damage and claiming forty lives.
In 1987 Thirty-two cities in the eastern and south central U.S.
reported record high temperatures for the date. Highs of
74 degrees at Portland ME and 86 degrees at Fort Smith AR
equalled November records. It was the fourth day of
record warmth for Beckley WV, Memphi TN and Paducah KY.
A cold front ushered much colder air into the north
central U.S. Gale force winds lashed all five Great
Lakes.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a fast moving cold
front produced severe weather over the Tennessee Valley
and the Central Gulf Coast States during the afternoon
and evening hours, and into the next morning. Thunder-
storms spawned nineteen tornadoes, including eleven in
Mississippi. The last of the nineteen tornadoes killed
a woman in her mobile home in Lee FL. A tornado in
Culbert AL injured sixteen people, and caused two million
dollars damage. Thunderstorms also produced baseball
size hail in Alabama. Unseasonably hot air prevailed
south of the cold front. McAllen TX was the hot spot in
the nation with a high of 102 degrees.
In 1989 Snow and high winds plagued parts of Colorado and
Wyoming. Winds gusted to 71 mph near Wheatland WY,
and reached 80 mph west of Fort Collins CO. Up to five
inches of snow blanketed Yellowstone Park WY closing many
roads. Snow also blanketed northern Minnesota, with
seven inches reported at Baudette.
In 2001 Hurricane Michelle, the strongest of the 2001 Hurricane
Season, slammed into southern Cuba with 135 mph winds.
Originally a tropical depression off the coast of
Nicauragua and Honduras several days earlier, Michelle
rapidly intensified over the northwest Caribbean Sea.
After crossing Cuba, she skirted the Florida Keys, and
hit the Bahamas before heading into the Atlantic Ocean
toward Bermuda.

In 1951 Snow fell from the Texas panhandle to the Lower Great
Lakes, leaving record totals of 12.5 inches at Saint
Louis MO, and 14.1 inches at Springfield MO. Other
heavier snowfall totals included 20 inches at Nevada MO,
13.5 inches at Sedan KS, 13 inches at Decature IL, and 10
inches at Alva OK. In the Saint Louis area, up to 20
inches was reported in Washington County. (5th-6th)
In 1987 High winds in the northeastern U.S., making the recent
unseasonably warm weather a distant memory, gusted to 63
mph at Rhode Island. Squalls resulting from the high
winds produced five inches of snow at Marquette MI and 7
inches at Rome NY. A storm in the southwestern U.S.
brought heavy snow to some of the higher elevations of
Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
In 1988 A powerful low pressure system over the Great Lakes
Region continued to produce snow across parts of the Ohio
Valley and the Great Lakes Region. Snowfall totals along
the shore of Lake Superior reached 24 inches, with three
feet of snow reported in the Porcupine Mountain area of
Upper Michigan. Marquette MI established a November
record with 17.3 inches of snow in 24 hours.
In 1989 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the south central
and southeastern U.S. Nine cities from Florida to
Oklahoma and Texas reported record high temperatures for
the date as readings warmed into the 80s. The high of 89
degrees at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport in Texas
equalled their record for November.

In 1940 The Galloping Gertie bridge at Tacoma WA collapsed in
strong winds, resulting in a six million dollar loss, just
four months after the grand opening of the new bridge.
The winds caused the evenly sized spans of the bridge to
begin to vibrate until the central one finally collapsed.
From then on, bridges were constructed with spans of
varying size.
In 1951 At 7 AM a blinding flash, a huge ball of fire, and a
terrific roar occurred over parts of Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas, caused by a disintregrating meteor. Windows were
broken in and near Hinton OK by the concussion.
In 1986 An early season blizzard struck the Northern Plains
Region. North Dakota took the brunt of the storm with
wind gusts to 70 mph, and snowfall totals ranged up to 25
inches at Devils Lake.
In 1987 Heavy snow fell across parts of eastern New York State
overnight, with twelve inches reported at the town of
Piseco, located in the Mohawk Valley. A storm in the
southwestern U.S. left nine inches of snow at the Winter
Park ski resort in Colorado. Smoke from forest fires
reduced visibilities to less than a mile at some
locations from North Carolina to Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather continued across the state of
Texas. Seven cities reported record high temperatures
for the date, including Waco and Del Rio with readings of
92 degrees. McAllen was the hot spot in the nation with
an afternoon high of 96 degrees.
In 1989 Shortly after daybreak strong thunderstorms developed in
a narrow, but almost stationary, east-west band across
the New Orleans area in southeastern Louisiana. As a
result, heavy rains persisted over the same area until
mid afternoon before tapering off, and triggered flash
flooding across a five county area. Rains of 8 to 12
inches deluged the area between 9 AM and 6 PM, and totals
for the 48 hour period ending at 7 AM on the 8th ranged
up to 19.78 inches, between Lake Lexy and Lake Borgne.
Approximately 6000 homes in the area reported water
damage. The rainfall total for November of 19.81 inches
at New Orleans was their highest total for any given
month of the year.

In 1870 The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Signal
Corps Weather Service.
In 1943 An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South
Dakota and Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. The storm
produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and Marshall MN,
20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at
Minneapolis. Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in
Cottonwood County MN. The storm produced up to two feet
of snow in South Dakota, smothering a million Thanksgiving
Day turkeys. (6th-8th)
In 1953 Residents of New York City suffered through ten days of
smog, resulting in 200 deaths.
In 1966 The temperature in downtown San Francisco reached a
November record of 86 degrees.
In 1987 Thunderstorms over Texas produced locally heavy rains in
the Hill Country, with 3.50 inches reported at Lakeway,
and 3.72 inches reported at Anderson Mill. Thunderstorms
over Louisiana produced hail an inch in diameter at Clay
and at Provencial. Blustery northwest winds, ushering
cold air into western Kansas and into northwest Texas,
gusted to 46 mph at Hill City KS.
In 1988 Fair weather prevailed across much of the nation for
Election Day. Midland TX equalled their record for
November with an afternoon high of 89 degrees, and the
record high of 87 degrees at Roswell NM was their fifth
in eight days.
In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along and
ahead of a cold front produced severe weather from
northern Louisiana into central Georgia. Thunderstorms
spawned three tornadoes, and there were sixty-four
reports of large hail or damaging winds. A late
afternoon thunderstorm in central Georgia spawned
a tornado which killed one person and injured eight
others at Pineview. Late afternoon thunderstorms in
central Mississippi produced baseball size hail around
Jackson, and wind gusts to 70 mph at Walnut Grove.
In 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical
cyclones ever observed, made landfall in the Philippines.
It's estimated it had sustained winds of 195 mph, and
gusts to 235 mph at landfall...the equivalent of an
intense category 5 hurricane. The storm was so large in
diameter, that clouds from it were affecting two-thirds
of the country, which extended over 1150 miles. Over
10,000 perished in the storm.

In 1913 The "freshwater fury", a rapidly deepening cyclone,
caused unpredicted gales on the Great Lakes. Eight large
ore carriers on Lake Erie sank drowning 270 sailors.
Cleveland OH reported 17.4 inches of snow in 24 hours,
and a total of 22.2 inches, both all-time records for
that location. During the storm, winds at Cleveland
averaged 50 mph, with gusts to 79 mph. The storm
produced wind gusts to 80 mph at Buffalo NY, and buried
Pickens WV under three feet of snow. (9th-11th)
In 1926 A tornado in Charles County of southern Maryland killed
17 persons.
In 1982 Seven tornadoes touched down in southern California,
three of which began as waterspouts. The waterspouts
moved ashore at Point Mugu, Malibu, and Long Beach. The
Long Beach tornado traveled inland ten miles causing much
damage.
In 1987 Showers and gusty winds associated with a cold front
helped extinguish forest fires in the Appalachian Region
and clear out smoke in the eastern U.S. Thunderstorms
produced locally heavy rains from eastern Texas to the
Tennessee Valley. Longview TX received 3.12 inches of
rain, including two inches in two hours, Tupelo MS was
soaked with 2.80 inches of rain.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a strong cold front
produced severe weather from eastern Oklahoma to central
Indiana. Hail more than two inches in diameter was
reported around Tulsa OK.
In 1989 High winds prevailed along the eastern slopes of the
Rockies from the afternoon of the 8th into the early
morning hours of the 9th. Winds of 50 to 80 mph
prevailed across the northwest chinook area of Wyoming,
with gusts to 100 mph. Winds in Colorado gusted to
97 mph at Fritz Peak (located near Rollinsville) the
evening of the 8th, and early in the morning on the 9th,
gusted to 78 mph west of Fort Collins.
In 1999 What a difference a year makes!! Sunny skies and highs
in the 70s for the northern plains...while a blizzard
was raging just one year earlier over the same area.
In 2020 Theta is the 29th named storm in the record-breaking
2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season, breaking the previous
record of 28th named storms in 2005.

In 1915 An unusually late season tornado struck the central
Kansas town of Great Bend killing eleven persons along
its 35 mile track. The tornado destroyed 160 homes in
Great Bend and caused a million dollars damage. Hundreds
of dead ducks dropped from the sky northeast of the
track's end.
In 1975 Another "freshwater fury" hit the Great Lakes. A large
ore carrier on Lake Superior, the Edmund Fitzgerald, sank
near Crisp Point with the loss of its crew of 29 men.
Eastern Upper Michigan and coastal Lower Michigan were
hardest hit by the storm, which produced wind gusts to 71
at Sault Ste Marie MI, and gusts to 78 mph at Grand
Rapids MI. Severe land and road erosion occurred along
the Lake Michigan shoreline. A popular hit song by
Gordon Lightfoot was inspired by the storm.
In 1987 A cold front brought snow to the Appalachian Region and
freezing temperatures to the central U.S. Up to nine
inches of snow blanketed Garrett County of extreme
western Maryland. Freezing temperatures were reported as
far south as El Paso TX and San Angelo TX. Gale force
winds lashed the Middle Atlantic Coast and the coast of
southern New England. Thunderstorms brought fire
quenching rains to Alabama, and produced large hail and
damaging winds in eastern North Carolina. Ahead of the
cold front, seven cities in Florida and Georgia reported
record high temperatures for the date as readings warmed
into the 80s.
In 1988 Strong winds circulating around a deep low pressure
system in southeastern Ontario buffeted the northeastern
U.S., with the Lower Great Lakes Region hardest hit.
Winds in western New York State gusted to 68 mph at
Buffalo, to 69 mph at Niagra Falls, and to 78 mph at
Brockport. Four persons were injured at Rome NY when a
tree was blown onto their car.
In 1989 Strong southwesterly winds prevailed along the eastern
slopes of the Rockies in Montana and Wyoming. Winds of
80 to 90 mph prevailed across the northwest chinook zone
of Montana, with gusts to 112 mph. Unseasonably warm
weather accompanied the high winds. Shortly after
midnight the temperature at Kalispell MT reached a record
59 degrees. Windy and wet weather prevailed across
Washington State. Strong southerly winds gusted to 70 mph
at Rattlesnake Ridge, near Hanford. Six rivers in western
Washington State rose above flood stage between the 9th
and the 11th of the month, following eight days of moderate
to heavy rain. Rainfall over the western slopes of the
Cascade Mountains between the 3rd and the 10th ranged from
14 to 24 inches. High freezing levels also caused the early
snowpack to melt, adding to the runoff in the rain swollen
rivers. Damage was heaviest in Whatcom County, where the
Nooksack River caused nearly six million dollars damage,
mostly to roads and bridges.
In 1999 Snowplows had to be called out in Eden Prarie, MN to clean
up after a hailstorm.
In 2002 (9th-11th) A widespread severe weather and tornado outbreak
affected a large area from Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana
eastward across the Mississippi River, to the east coast.
One tornado late on the 9th blew out the windows of a law
enforcement vehicle in Crittenden County, Arkansas. Coverage
and intensity both increased dramatically on the 10th, with
Tornado Watches and Tornado Warnings covering areas from
Pennsylvania southwest to Louisiana on the 10th. Damage was
widespread, with many injuries and fatalities across several
states. An F-4 tornado struck Van Wert, Ohio. Mossy Grove,
Tennessee, northwest of Knoxville, was all but destroyed.
Preliminary reports showed at least 56 tornadoes, and 44
fatalities.
