APRIL 2ND
HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1975...
The northeastern U.S. was in the grips of a severe storm which produced
hurricane force winds along the coast, and two to three feet of snow in
Maine and New Hampshire. Winds atop Mount Washington NH gusted to 140 mph.
(David Ludlum)
The biggest snowstorm of record for so late in the season paralyzed Chicago
IL. Up to 20 inches of snow fell in extreme northeastern Illinois, and 10.9
inches of snow closed Chicago's O'Hare Airport. (The Weather Channel)
...1982...
Severe thunderstorms spawned fifty-six tornadoes in the central U.S.,
including seventeen in the Red iver Region of Texas and Oklahoma. The
tornadoes claimed thirty lives, and injured 383 other persons. A violent
tornado near Messer OK left only the carpet tack strips on the slab of a
house it destroyed, and carried a motel sign thirty miles. (The Weather
Channel) (Storm Data)
