Subj : Todays Weather History To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Sep 22 2025 15:27:24 TODAY Version 3.7 06/24/94 Copyright 1986, 1994 By Patrick Kincaid Today is Monday September 22, 2025. This is the 265th day of the year, there are 100 days left. On this day... Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov In 1890 A severe hailstorm struck Strawberry AZ. Five days after the storm hail still lay in drifts 12 to 18 inches deep. In 1913 Des Moines IA experienced their earliest freeze of record. In 1961 Hurricane Esther made a near complete circle south of Cape Cod. The hurricane then passed over Cape Cod and hit Maine. Its energy was largely spent over the North Atlantic Ocean, however, heavy rains over Maine resulted in widespread local flooding of cellars, low roads, and underpasses. In 1983 Forty-one cities reported record cold temperatures during the morning. Houston TX hit 50 degrees, and Williston ND plunged to 19 above. In 1987 Hurricane Emily, the first hurricane to roam the Carribean in nearly six years, made landfall over the Dominican Republic late in the day, packing 125 mph winds. Emily killed three persons and caused thirty million dollars damage. A record high of 92 degrees at Miami FL was their fifth in a row. In 1988 An early morning thunderstorm produced baseball size hail at Plainview, in Hale County TX. Late in the evening more thunderstorms in the Southern High Plains Region produced wind gusts to 75 mph at Plainview TX and Crosby TX In 1989 Hurricane Hugo quickly lost strength over South Carolina, but still was a tropical storm as it crossed into North Carolina, just west of Charlotte, at about 7 AM. Winds around Charlotte reached 69 mph, with gusts to 99 mph. Eighty percent of the power was knocked out to Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Property damage in North Carolina was 210 million dollars, and damage to crops was 97 million dollars. The strongest storm surge occurred along the southern coast shortly after midnight, reaching nine feet above sea level at ocean Isle and Sunset Beach. Hugo killed one person and injured 15 others in North Carolina. Strong northwesterly winds ushered unseasonably cold air into the north central U.S., in time for the official start of autumn, at 8:20 PM CDT. Squalls produced light snow in northern Wisconsin. Winds in Wisconsin gusted to 52 mph at Rhinelander. In 2000 Tropical Storm Helene struck Pensacola, Florida, bringing more heavy rain to an area hit just days earlier by Tropical Storm Gordon. In 2002 Hurricane Isidore, which had just days before ravaged parts of Cuba, hit the Yucatan Peninsula near Progreso, Mexico, with 125 mph winds. It stayed over land a few days, weakening it considerably, but producing flooding rains over the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba, because of its large circulation. Isidore weakened to a Tropical Storm by the time it moved back into the Gulf Of Mexico...finally making landfall near New Orleans as a Tropical Storm on the 26th. In 2003 For the second time in just under a month, Baja California was hit by a hurricane...this time, Hurricane Marty with 100 mph winds, coming ashore near San Jose Del Cabo. Heavy rain of over 8 inches caused flooding and mudslides. The remnants of Ivan, which hit Gulf Shores, Alabama and adjacent areas on the 17th, had drifted off the southeast U.S. Coast, then looped across south Florida, and into the eastern Gulf Of Mexico...regenerating as a Tropical Storm on the 22nd, coming ashore on the 23rd near Cameron, Louisiana (22nd-23rd). --- SBBSecho 3.29-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS -- Little Rock, Arkansas (1:19/33) .
