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.

In 1911 The central U.S. experienced perhaps its most dramatic
cold wave of record. During the early morning hours
temperatures across the Central Plains ranged from
68 degrees at Kansas City to 4 above atNorth Platte NE.
In Kansas City, the temperature warmed to a record
76 degrees by late morning before the arctic front moved
in from the northwest. Skies become overcast, winds
shifted to the northwest, and the mercury began to plummet.
By early afternoon it was cold enough to snow, and by
midnight the temperature had dipped to a record cold
reading of 11 degrees above zero. Oklahoma City also
established a record high of 83 degrees and record low of
17 degrees that same day (11/11/11). In southeastern
Kansas, the temperature at Independence plunged from 83
degrees to 33 degrees in just one hour. The arctic cold
front produced severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in the
Mississippi Valley, a blizzard in the Ohio Valley, and a
dust storm in Oklahoma. Of particular note, Zanesville,
Wisconsin had an F-4 tornado, and blizzard conditions an
hour later.
In 1940 An Armistice Day storm raged across the Great Lakes
Region and the Upper Midwest. A blizzard left 49 dead in
Minnesota, and gales on Lake Michigan caused ship wrecks
resulting in another 59 deaths. Up to 17 inches of snow
fell in Iowa, and at Duluth MN the barometric pressure
reached 28.66 inches. The blizzard claimed a total of
154 lives, and in Iowa, killed thousands of cattle.
Whole towns were isolated by huge snowdrifts.
In 1955 An early arctic outbreak set many November temperature
records across Oregon and Washington. The severe cold
damaged shrubs and fruit trees. Readings plunged to near
zero in western Washington, and dipped to 19 degrees
below zero in the eastern part of the state.
In 1987 A deepening low pressure system brought heavy snow to the
east central U.S. The Veteran's Day storm produced up to
17 inches of snow in the Washington D.C. area snarling
traffic and closing schools and airports. Afternoon
thunderstorms produced five inches of snow in three
hours. Gale force winds lashed the Middle and Northern
Atlantic Coast. Norfolk VA reported their earliest
measurable snow in 99 years of records.
In 1988 Low pressure brought snow to parts of the Rocky Mountain
Region. Totals in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern
Colorado ranged up to 10 inches at Summitville. Evening
thunderstorms produced large hail in central Oklahoma and
north central Texas.
In 1989 Veteran's Day was an unseasonably warm one across much of
the nation east of the Rockies. Temperatures warmed into
the 70s and 80s from the Southern and Central Plains to
the southern half of the Atlantic coast. Thirty-four
cities reported record high temperatures for the date,
including Saint Louis MO with a reading of 85 degrees.
Calico Rock AR and Gilbert AR reported record highs of 87
degrees.

In 1906 The mercury soared to 106 degrees at Craftonville CA,
a November record for the U.S.
In 1959 Between Noon on the 11th and Noon on the 12th, a winter
storm buried Helena MT under 21.5 inches of snow, which
surpassed their previous 24 hour record by seven inches.
In 1968 A severe coastal storm produced high winds and record
early snows from Georgia to Maine. Winds reached 90 mph
in Massachusetts, and ten inches of snow blanketed
interior Maine.
In 1974 A great Alaska storm in the Bering Sea caused the worst
coastal flooding of memory at Nome AK with a tide of 13.2
feet. The flooding caused 12 million dollars damage,
however no lives are lost.
In 1987 Heavy snow spread across much of New England. Totals in
Massachusetts ranged up to 14 inches in Plymouth County.
The seven inch total at the Logan Airport in Boston was
their highest of record for so early in the season, and
the 9.7 inch total at Providence RI was a record for
November. Roads were clogged with traffic and made
impassable as snowplow operators were caught unprepared
for the early season snowstorm.
In 1988 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
severe weather in the Lower Mississippi Valley during the
afternoon and early evening hours. Thunderstorms
produced wind gusts to 80 mph at Bovina MS. Morning
thunderstorms drenched Atlanta TX with more than four
inches of rain.
In 1989 Thirty-three cities reported record high temperatures for
the date as readings soared into the 70s and 80s from the
Southern and Central Plains to the Southern and Middle
Atlantic Coast Region. The afternoon high of 80 degrees
at Scottsbluff NE was a record for November, and highs of
76 degrees at Rapid City SD and 81 degrees at Chattanooga
TN were the warmest of record for so late in the season.
In 1990 Typhoon Mike, the worst of 14 typhoons to strike the
Philippines in 1990, wrecked over 600,000 homes and
killed 436.
In 2003 (12th-13th) Deadly windstorms gusting to over 70 mph swept
across the Midwestern and Eastern U.S., knocking out power
to nearly a million customers, and bringing heavy flooding.
A motorist who drove past a roadblock was swept away by a
a creek in West Virginia...and in New York, a tree fell
onto a car, killing the driver. A Virginia teenager was
seriously injured when a tree fell on her as she waited for
a school bus. In the Watts, South Gate, and Compton
neighborhoods of Los Angeles, California, a freak storm
dropped 5 inches of rain and hail in under 2 hours. Drifts
of hail were up to 2 feet deep in places, and some vehicle
doors couldn't even be opened because of it. Near the
Detroit, Michigan Airport, a live power line fell across
Interstate 94, creating a monster traffic jam. Waves up to
16 feet were recorded on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. In
Wooster, Ohio, seven people were injured when a tornado
damaged a Rubbermaid plant. In Loudendale, West Virginia,
water over 4 feet deep carried off a 3000 gallon kerosene
tank that was outside a store.

In 1933 The first dust storm of the great dust bowl era of the
1930s occurred. The dust storm, which had spread from
Montana to the Ohio Valley the day before, prevailed from
Georgia to Maine resulting in a black rain over New York
and a brown snow in Vermont. Parts of South Dakota,
Minnesota and Iowa reported zero visibility on the 12th.
On the 13th, dust reduced the visibility to half a mile
in Tennessee.
In 1946 General Electric scientists produced snow in the
Massachusetts Berkshires in the first modern day cloud
seeding experiment.
In 1953 Strong southeasterly winds associated with a Pacific cold
front reached 70 mph at Sacramento CA to equal their all-
time record. The previous record had been established in
a similar weather pattern on December 12th of the
previous year.
In 1981 A powerful cyclone brought high winds to Oregon and
Washington. The cyclone, which formed about 1000 miles
west of San Francisco, intensified rapidly as it
approached the Oregon coast with the central pressure
reaching 28.22 inches (956 millibars). A wind trace from
the Whiskey Run Turbine Site, about 12 miles south of
Coos Bay in Oregon, showed peak gusts to 97 mph fifty
feet above ground level. The wind caused widespread
damage in Washington and Oregon, with 12 deaths reported.
As much as four feet of snow fell in the Sierra Nevada
Range of northern California.
In 1987 A storm moving off the Pacific Ocean produced rain and
gale force winds along the northern and central Pacific
coast, and heavy snow in the Cascade Mountains. Cold
weather prevailed in the southeastern U.S. Five cities
reported record low temperatures for the date, including
Asheville NC with a reading of 21 degrees.
In 1988 Low pressure brought rain and snow and gusty winds to the
northeastern U.S. A thunderstorm drenched Agawam MA with
1.25 inches of rain in fifteen minutes. Winds gusted to
58 mph at Nantucket MA.
In 1989 Thirty-two cities in the central and eastern U.S.
reported record high temperatures for the date as
readings warmed into the 70s as far north as Michigan and
Pennsylvania. Afternoon highs in the 80s were reported
from the Southern Plains to the southern Atlantic coast.
Columbia SC reported a record high of 86 degrees, and the
high of 71 degrees at Flint MI was their warmest of
record for so late in the season.

In 1964 With the help of a fresh three inch cover of snow, the
temperature at Ely NV dipped to 15 degrees below zero to
establish an all-time record low for the month of
November. That record of -15 degrees was later equalled
on the 19th of November in 1985.
In 1974 A storm produced 15 inches of snow at the Buffalo NY
airport, and 30 inches on the south shore of Lake Erie.
In 1986 An early season cold wave set more than 200 records from
the northwestern U.S. to the east coast over a seven day
period. For some places it proved to be the coldest
weather of the winter season.
In 1987 The first major snowstorm of the season hit the Southern
and Central Rockies, producing 12 inches at the Brian
Head ski resort in Utah overnight. Strong and gusty
winds associated with the storm reached 52 mph at Ruidoso
NM. In the eastern U.S...the temperature at Washington
D.C. soared to 68 degrees, just three days after being
buried under more than a foot of snow.
In 1988 A massive storm produced snow and gusty winds in the
western U.S., with heavy snow in some of the higher
elevations. Winds gusted to 66 mph at Show Low AZ,
and Donner Summit, located in the Sierra Nevada Range of
California, was buried under 23 inches of snow. Heavy
rain soaked parts of California, with 3.19 inches
reported at Blue Canyon.
In 1989 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed east of the Rockies.
Temperatures reached 70 degrees as far north as New
England, and readings in the 80s were reported across the
southeast quarter of the nation. Nineteen cities
reported record high temperatures for the date. For the
second time in the month Dallas/Fort Worth TX equalled
their record for November with an afternoon high of 89
degrees. The high of 91 degrees at Waco TX was their
warmest of record for so late in the season. Heavy snow
blanketed parts of Wyoming overnight, with twelve inches
reported at Cody, and ten inches at Yellowstone Park.

45 inches in 24 hours. The storm total was 49 inches.
(14th-15th)
In 1967 A surprise snow and ice coating paralyzed Boston during
the evening rush hour.
In 1987 Thunderstorms spawned twenty-two tornadoes in eastern
Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. A tornado moving out
of northeastern Texas killed one person and injured
ninety-six others around Shreveport LA causing more than
five million dollars damage. Tornadoes in Texas claimed
ten lives, and injured 191 persons. A tornado caused
more than nineteen million dollars damage around

22 persons and caused nearly four million dollars damage.
A tornado near Jane MO killed one person and injured 12
others, and a tornado moving across the southwest part of
O'Fallon MO injured ten persons. Severe thunderstorms also
produced hail three and a half inches in diameter east of
Denison TX, and wind gusts to 85 mph at Kirksville MO.
In 1989 For the third year in a row there was a major outbreak of
severe weather on November 15th. Thunderstorms
developing along a powerful cold front began to produce
severe weather in the Middle Mississippi Valley before
sunrise, and by early the next morning thunderstorms had
spawned seventeen tornadoes east of the Mississippi
River, with a total of 350 reports of severe weather.
There were one hundred reports of damaging winds in
Georgia, and five tornadoes, and there were another four
tornadoes in Alabama. Hardest hit was Huntsville AL
where a violent tornado killed twenty-one persons,

In 1958 More than six inches of snow fell at Tucson AZ.
The most severe November cold wave in U.S. history was in
progress. A weather observing station located 14 miles
northeast of Lincoln MT reported a reading of 53 degrees
below zero, which established an all-time record low
temperature for the nation for the month of November.
Their high that day was one degree above zero.
In 1987 High winds and heavy snow created blizzard conditions
across parts of eastern Colorado. Wind gusts reached 68
mph at Pueblo, and snowfall totals ranged up to 37 inches
at Echo Lake. In Wyoming, the temperature dipped to 14
degrees below zero at Laramie. Strong thunderstorms in
Louisiana drenched Alexandria with 16.65 inches of rain
in thirty hours, with an unofficial total of 21.21 inches
north of Olla. Flash flooding in Louisiana caused five
to six million dollars damage. (15th-16th)
In 1988 A powerful low pressure system in the north central U.S.
produced high winds across the Great Lakes Region, with
wind gusts to 60 mph reported at Chicago IL. Heavy snow
blanketed much of Minnesota, with eleven inches reproted
at International Falls.
In 1989 9 students died when a "weak" tornado wrecked a cafeteria
wall, making it the deadliest weak tornado in US history.
Snow and gusty winds invaded the north central U.S. Winds
gusting to 40 mph produced wind chill readings as cold as
25 degrees below zero, and blizzard conditions were
reported in Nebraska during the late morning hours. High
winds around a powerful low pressure system produced
squalls in the Great Lakes Region. Winds gusted to 63
mph at Whitefish Point MI, and snowfall totals in
Michigan ranged up to 19 inches at Hart, north of
Muskegon. (15th-16th)
In 2020 Iota becomes a catastrophic category 5 hurricane with 160 mph
winds in the Gulf Of Mexico, the latest in the season for such
an intense storm. It hit nearly the same area blasted by
category 4 Churricane Eta just 2 weeks earlier, but it had
weakened slightly to a strong category 4 hurricane.

possible tornado (several tornadoes were observed around
the area). In nearby Sugarland, TX, 16 people were injured
in weather related auto accidents...most from the strong
winds blowing their vehicles off of the road.
In 2013 A major severe weather outbreak occurred from the Upper
Midwest through the Middle Mississipi Valley, into the
Tennessee and Ohio Valley region. Numerous reports of
severe weather...including tornadoes and damaging winds...
were noted in many areas...with some of the tornadoes and
damaging winds termed as "significant". Widespread damage,
as well as numerous injuries and fatalities occurred across
several states. An NFL game in Chicago was delayed by the
severe weather in the area. Storms were moving at nearly 80
in some cases...and with some of the tornadoes, there were
"debris balls" noted on radar. Several vehicles were also
overturned, due to the high winds. Preliminary data had
over 400 severe weather reports...and around 80 of those
were tornadoes. One tornado that hit Washington County,
was rated as an EF-4.
In 2014 (17th-21st) The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in high gear
on the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Five to more than seven
feet of snow (almost a years worth), piled up just south
