On this day in ..

    • 1764 - 22 inches of snow fell at Rutland MA from an unusual early season storm.
    • 1843 - Freak early season winter storm strikes Mississippi with snow, sleet and freezing temperatures. A hard freeze followed the storm.
    • 1929 - 27 inches of snow fell in 24 hours at Ishpeming MI to establish a new state record.
    • 1962 - Up to 16 inches of snow fell across northern Maine. Worcester MA reported a record 4.7 inches of snow.
    • 1972 - A man and his wife were awakened from a sound sleep by rain beating down on them. A tornado had just removed the roof from their house near Crestview, Florida. They ran, uninjured, from their house moments before it was removed from its foundation.
    • 1996 - Thousands of homes in southern and central Texas were without power after strong storms dumped as much as a foot of rain. Hundreds of flights were canceled or diverted at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and the Frio, Guadalupe, and Llano rivers spilled their banks, making roads impassable and stranding some motorists. The Llano crested at 30 feet -- 18 feet above flood stage -- and Llano County sheriff's deputies were evacuating homes downriver.
    • 1998 - Hurricane Mitch passed over Swan Island and turned southwestward toward the Bay Islands off of the Honduran coast. Mitch passed near the island of Guanaja as still a category 4 hurricane. As the hurricane interacted with the landmass of Honduras, it weakened, its central pressure rising almost 59 mb in two days. The center of the slow-moving hurricane meandered near the north coast of Honduras from late on the 27th through the 28th, before making landfall during the morning of the 29th. 50-75 inches of rain fell across parts of Honduras and Nicaragua, causing tremendous flooding and mudslides. Over 11,000 people would die in the aftermath and the economy of the two countries were shattered. Another 1000 people were never found. Mitch ranks as the second most deadly Atlantic Hurricane on record, behind the "Great Hurricane of 1780" which affected the Lesser Antilles.
