The Onslow County Courthouse was destroyed along with all its records, and Beacon Island disappeared. In 1893 The second great hurricane of the 1893 season hit the Mississippi Delta Region drowning more than 1000 persons. In 1977 After yesterday's monthly record high of 108 degrees, Wichita Falls, Texas, cooled today with a high of 87. In 1987 A blast of cold arctic air hit the north central U.S. An afternoon thunderstorm slickened the streets of Duluth MN with hail and snow, and later in the afternoon, strong northerly winds reached 70 mph. Unseasonably warm weather continued in the Pacific northwest. Highs of 90 at Olympia WA, 92 at Portland OR, and 89 at Seattle WA, were records for October. For Seattle WA it marked the twenty-first daily record high for the year, a record total in itself. In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe weather across central Oklahoma and the eastern half of Texas. Thunderstorms in Texas produced softball size hail northwest of Nocona, and baseball size hail at Troy and Park Springs. In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the southeastern U.S. through the daytime and evening hours. Severe thunderstorms spawned eleven tornadoes, with seven of those tornadoes in Georgia. A tornado southwest of Moultrie GA killed two persons and injured a dozen others. Tornadoes also injured one person north of Graceville FL, and two persons at Bartow GA.
