 Today is Sunday  October 22, 2017.
 This is the 295th day of the year, there are 70 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 1965 The temperature soared to 104 degrees at San Diego CA.
            Southern California was in the midst of a late October
            heat wave that year.  Los Angeles had ten consecutive
            days with afternoon highs reaching 100 degrees.
    In 1985 A guest on the top floor of a hotel in Seattle WA was
            seriously injured while talking on the phone when
            lightning struck.  Several persons are killed each year
            when the electrical charge from a lightning bolt travels
            via telephone wiring.
    In 1987 Yakutat AK surpassed their previous all-time yearly
            precipitation total of 190 inches.  Monthly records
            were set in June with 17 inches, in September with
            70 inches, and in October with more than 40 inches.
            Twenty-two cities in the eastern U.S., most in the
            southeast, reported record low temperatures for the date.
            Morning lows of 30 at Athens GA, 28 at Birmingham AL, and
            23 at Pinson AL, were the coldest of record for so early
            in the season. Showers produced heavy rain in southern
            California, with amounts ranging up to five inches at
            Blue Jay.  Flash flooding resulted in two deaths, ten
            injuries, and more than a million dollars damage.
    In 1988 A "nor'easter" swept across the coast of New England.
            Winds gusted to 75 mph, and large waves and high tides
            caused extensive shoreline flooding.  A heavy wet snow
            blanketed much of eastern New York State, with a foot of
            snow reported in Lewis County.
    In 1989 A storm system moving out of the Gulf of Alaska brought
            rain to the Northern and Central Pacific Coast Region,
            with snow in some of the mountains of Oregon, and wind
            gusts to 60 mph along the Oregon coast.  Six cities in
            Florida reported record low temperatures for the date,
            including Tallahassee with a reading of 34 degrees.
