 Today is Saturday  November 12, 2016.
 This is the 317th day of the year, there are 49 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 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.
