    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 1770 An exceedingly great storm struck eastern New England
            causing extensive coastal damage from Massachusetts to
            Maine, and the highest tide in 47 years.
    In 1983 Remnants of Pacific Hurricane Tico caused extensive
            flooding in central and south central Oklahoma.  Oklahoma
            City set daily rainfall records with 1.45 inch on the
            19th and 6.28 inches on the 20th.  (17th-21st)
    In 1987 Cold arctic air invaded the Upper Midwest, and squalls in
            the Lake Superior snowbelt produced heavy snow in eastern
            Ashland County and northern Iron County of Wisconsin.
            Totals ranged up to 18 inches at Mellen.  In the western
            U.S., the record high of 69 degrees at Seattle WA was
            their twenty-fifth of the year, the highest number of
            record highs for any given year.  Bakersfield CA reported
            a record 146 days in a row with daily highs 80 degrees or
            above.
    In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather continued in the western U.S.
            In California, afternoon highs of 96 degrees at Redding
            and Red Bluff were records for the date.
    In 1989 Forty-nine cities reported record low temperatures for
            the date as readings dipped into the 20s and 30s across
            much of the south central and southeastern U.S.  Lows of
            32 at Lake Charles LA and 42 at Lakeland FL were records
            for October, and Little Rock AR reported their earliest
            freeze of record.  Snow blanketed the higher elevations
            of Georgia and the Carolinas.  Melbourne FL dipped to 47
            degrees shortly before midnight to surpass the record low
            established that morning. Showers and thunderstorms brought
            heavy rain to parts of the northeastern U.S.  Autumn leaves
            on the ground clogged drains and dtiches causing flooding.
            Up to 4.10 inches of rain soaked southern Vermont in three
            days. Flood waters washed 600 feet of railroad track,
            resulting in a train derailment.
    In 1991 Strong Diablo winds fanned a small brush fire into an inferno
            that destroyed over 3300 homes in Oakland and Berkeley.
