Weather History...

SEPTEMBER 29TH
HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1927...
An outbreak of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Indiana caused 81 deaths and 25
million dollars damage. A tornado (possibly two tornadoes) cut an
eight-mile long path across Saint Louis MO, to Granite City IL, killing 79
persons. The damage path at times was a mile and a quarter in width. The
storm followed a similar path to tornadoes which struck in 1871, 1896, and
1959. (The Weather Channel)
...1959...
A storm produced 28 inches of snow at Colorado Springs CO. (David Ludlum)
...1983...
Heavy rains began in central and eastern Arizona which culminated in the
worst flood in the history of the state. Eight to ten inch rains across the
area caused severe flooding in southeastern Arizona which resulted in
thirteen deaths and 178 million dollars damage. President Reagan declared
eight counties of Arizona to be disaster areas. (The Weather Channel)
...1986...
A week of violent weather began in Oklahoma which culminated in one of the
worst flooding events in the history of the state. On the first day of the
week early morning thunderstorms caused more than a million dollars damage
in south Oklahoma City. Thunderstorms produced 4 to 7 inches of rain from
Hobart to Ponca City, and another round of thunderstorms that evening
produced 7 to 10 inches of rain in north central and northeastern sections
of Oklahoma. (Storm Data)
...1987...
A slow moving cold front produced rain from the Great Lakes Region to the
Central Gulf Coast Region. A late afternoon thunderstorm produced wind
gusts to 62 mph at Buffalo NY. Warm weather continued in the western U.S.
In Oregon, the afternoon high of 96 degrees at Medford was a record for the
date. (The National Weather Summary)
...1988...
High pressure brought freezing temperatures to parts of Vermont and New
York State. Burlington VT dipped to 30 degrees, and Binghamton NY reported
a record low of 34 degrees. The high pressure system also brought cold
weather to the Central Rocky Mountain Region. Alamosa CO reported a record
low of 18 degrees, and Gunnison CO was the cold spot in the nation with a
morning low of just five degrees above zero. (National Weather Summary)
...1989...
Seven cities reported record high temperatures for the date, as readings
soared into the 80s and low 90s in the Northern Plateau and Northern Plains
Region. Record highs included 91 degrees at Boise ID, and 92 degrees at
Sheridan WY. The high of 100 degrees at Tucson AZ marked their 51st record
high of the year, and their 92nd day of 100 degree weather. (National
