 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 1638 The journal of John Winthrop recorded that a mighty
            tempest struck eastern New England.  This second severe
            hurricane in three years blew down many trees in mile
            long tracks.
    In 1786 The famous "Pumpkin Flood" occurred on the Delaware and
            Susquehanna Rivers.  Harrisburg PA reported a river stage
            of twenty-two feet.  Heavy rains culminated a wet season.
    In 1917 The temperature at Sentinel AZ soared to 116 degrees to
            establish an October record for the nation.
    In 1972 Heavy rains, mostly the remnants of Tropical Storm
            Joanne, fell across much of Arizona.  It was thought to
            be the first time in Arizona weather history that a
            tropical storm entered the state with its circulation
            still intact.  The center was over Flagstaff early on the
            7th.  (3rd-7th)
    In 1987 It was another day of scorching heat for the southwestern
            U.S.  Afternoon highs of 102 degrees at Downtown San
            Francisco, and 104 degrees at Monterrey, established all-
            time records.  The high of 101 degrees at San Jose was a
            record for October.  Sacramento tied their record for
            October for the third time in the month, with a high of
            102 degrees.  The high for the nation was 111 degrees at
            San Luis Obispo and Palm Springs. Twenty cities in the
            southeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the
            date, including Knoxville TN with a reading of 34 degrees.
    In 1988 Thirteen cities in the central U.S. reported record low
            temperatures for the date, including Duluth MN with a
            reading of 21 degrees.  Goodland KS reported an afternoon
            high of 39 degrees.  Showers over Upper Michigan produced
            an inch of snow at Marquette.
    In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms associated with Tropical Storm
            Raymond deluged southeastern Arizona with heavy rain.  Up
            to 4.5 inches was reported north of Wilcox.  Three-
            fourths of the streets in the town of Wilcox were left
            under eighteen inches of water, and damage exceeded a
            million dollars. Evening thunderstorms developing along a
            cold front produced severe weather in Oklahoma and the
            Texas panhandle.  Thunderstorms produced high winds which
            gusted to 80 mph at White Deer TX, and resulted in one
            death at Pocasset OK.  Thunderstorms produced golf ball
            size hail at Pampa TX and Lefors TX.
    In 2000 After hitting Central America in late September with 135
            mph winds, hurricane Keith made landfall a second time,
            but with 90 mph winds, near Tampico, Mexico.
            Lubbock, TX and Tulsa, OK report their earliest snow ever.
