This is the 248th day of the year, there are 117 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 1925 The temperature at Centerville AL soars to 112 degrees to establish a state record. Every reporting station in Alabama was 100 degrees or above that afternoon. In 1933 A hurricane hit Brownsville TX killing forty persons and causing 12 million dollars damage. In 1950 Hurricane Easy produced the greatest 24 hour rainfall in U.S. weather records. The hurricane deluged Yankeetown, on the upper west coast of Florida, with 38.7 inches of rain. In 1975 Strong winds reduced visibilities to near zero in blowing dust resulting in a 22-car chain reaction accident on Interstate 10 near Toltec AZ. Two persons were killed, and 14 others were injured. In 1987 Thunderstorms over the Southern and Middle Atlantic Coast States drenched Charleston SC with 5.50 inches of rain, and a total of 13.50 inches in two days, flooding homes, and leaving roads and bridges under water. A tropical storm which formed off the Carolina coast was responsible for torrential rains over coastal regions of South Carolina. Between the 30th of August and the 8th of September, Charleston SC received 18.44 inches of rain. The heavy rains caused extensive flooding around the city of Charleston, seriously damaged cotton crops in the eastern part of the state, and resulted in an unusally high number of mosquitoes. In 1988 Five days of heavy rain commenced in west central Florida. Up to 20 inches of rain in four days resulted in extensive urban flooding, and evacuation of 1000 homes. Flooding claimed four lives, and caused more than five million dollars proprty damage. In 1989 Thunderstorms produced six to ten inches of rain in south central Kansas between 6 AM and Noon. Serious flooding was reported around Wichita, with water four feet deep along some roads. A cold front crossing the Northern High Plains Region produced wind gusts to 63 mph at Sheridan WY. In 2003 Hurricane Fabian hit Bermuda as a category 3 hurricane, the strongest hurricane to hit there in decades, with 120 mph winds. The Bermuda Weather Service reported an unofficial observation of 117 mph sustained winds, with gusts to 127 mph. The Bermuda Airport reported sustained winds of 103 mph, with gusts to 132 mph. Elsewhere, Typhpoon Dujan slammed into the southern Chinese coastal city of Shenzhen, killing at least 20 people, and causing extensive damage to parts of the country's showcase economic development zone. Of the 20 fatalities, 16 were killed when a workers dormitory collapsed, and at least 20 others were injured. It was the worst damage to that damage to that region since 1979. In 2017 Hurricane Irma became the most powerful hurricane in the Atlantic Basin, outside of the Caribbean and Gulf Of Mexico with 185 mph winds. She became only the 5th Atlantic Basin Hurricane with a peak wind speed of 180 mph or greater; the others were Allen (1980), the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Gilbert (1988), and Wilma (2005). She also set the record for being the strongest for so long a period of time...185 mph winds for 35 straight hours. On Sept. 9, the entire Florida peninsula, plus the central and eastern Florida panhandle, were under a Hurricane Warning, with part of the western Florida panhandle under a Tropical Storm Warning...and only the extreme western Florida panhandle not under either one of those (5th-9th). --- SBBSecho 3.23-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS -- Little Rock, Arkansas (1:19/33) .
