 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center

    In 1752 A great hurricane produced a tide along the South
            Carolina coast which nearly inundated downtown
            Charleston.  However, just before the tide reached the
            city, a shift in the wind caused the water level to drop
            five feet in ten minutes.
    In 1910 Rains of .27 inch on the 14th and .73 inch on the 15th
            were the earliest and heaviest of record for Fresno CA,
            which, along with much of California, experiences a
            "rainy season" in the winter.
    In 1939 The temperature at Detroit MI soared to 100 degrees to
            establish a record for September.
    In 1982 A snowstorm over Wyoming produced 16.9 inches at Lander
            to esablish a 24 hour record for September for that
            location.  (13th-15th)
    In 1987 The first snow of the season was observed at the Winter
            Park ski resort in Colorado early in the day.  Eight
            inches of snow was reported at the Summit of Mount Evans,
            along with wind gusts to 61 mph.  Early morning
            thunderstorms in Texas produced up to six inches of rain
            in Real County.  Two occupants of a car drowned, and the
            other six were injured as it was swept into Camp Wood
            Creek, near the town of Leakey.  Late afternoon and
            evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in central
            and northeastern Oklahoma.  Wind gusts to 70 mph and golf
            ball size hail were reported around Oklahoma City OK.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms brought much needed rains to parts of the
            central U.S.  Rainfall totals of 2.87 inches at Sioux
            City IA and 4.59 inches at Kansas City MO were records
            for the date.  Up to eight inches of rain deluged the
            Kansas City area, nearly as much rain as was received the
            previous eight months.  Hurricane Gilbert, meanwhile,
            slowly churned toward the border of Mexico and the U.S.
    In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rain in
            the Central Appalachians.  Virgie VA received 2.60 inches
            of rain during the evening hours, and Bartlett TN was
            deluged with 2.75 inches in just ninety minutes.  Heavy
            rain left five cars partially submerged in high water in
            a parking lot at Bulls Gap TN.  Thunderstorms over
            central North Carolina drenched the Fayetteville area
            with 4 to 8 inches of rain between 8 PM and midnight.
            Flash flooding, and a couple of dam breaks, claimed the
            lives of two persons, and caused ten million dollars
            damage. Hugo, churning over the waters of the Carribean,
            strengthened to the category of a very dangerous
            hurricane, packing winds of 150 mph.
    In 2010 Hurricane Julia increased rapidly to a Category 4 storm,
            becoming the strongest hurricane on record so far east
            in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, Hurricane Igor,
            also in the Atlantic Ocean, was also a Category 4 storm.
            This was the second time in recorded history that 2
            Category 4 hurricanes were active at the same time in
            the Atlantic. The previous occurrence was in 1926, when
            Hurricanes Four and Six (storms were not named back
            then) were in the Atlantic Basin. Hurricane Four stayed
            in the Atlantic Ocean, while Hurricane Six hit Miami,
            Florida as a Category 4 storm on Sept. 18, 1926.
