OCTOBER 8TH
HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1871...
Prolonged drought and dessicating winds led to the great Chicago fire, the
Peshtigo horror, and the Michigan fire holocaust. Fire destroyed more than
seventeen thousand buildings killing more than 200 persons in the city of
Chicago, while a fire consumed the town of Peshtigo WI killing more than
1100 persons. In Wisconsin, a million acres of land were burned, and in
Michigan, 2.5 million acres were burned killing 200 persons. "Tornadoes of
fire" generated by intense heat caused houses to explode in fire, and
burned to death scores of persons seeking refuge in open fields. (David
Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)
...1889...
Frost may have formed on the pumpkins as temperatures dropped to record lows of 
31 at Louisville and 23 at Bowling Green. (NWS Louisville)

A deluge at Galveston TX produced nearly twelve inches of rain in about a
six hour period. The rains came precisely thirteen months after the day of
the famous Galveston hurricane disaster. (David Ludlum)
...1982...
An unusually early snowstorm hit the northern Black Hills of Wyoming and
South Dakota. The storm produced up to 54 inches of snow, and winds as high

...1987...

season. Hot weather continued in the southwestern U.S. Phoenix AZ reported
