    Today is Friday  September 5, 2025.   
    This is the 248th day of the year, there are 117 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       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 1925 The temperature at Centerville AL soars to 112 degrees to   
               establish a state record.  Every reporting station in   
               Alabama was 100 degrees or above that afternoon.   
       In 1933 A hurricane hit Brownsville TX killing forty persons and   
               causing 12 million dollars damage.   
       In 1950 Hurricane Easy produced the greatest 24 hour rainfall in   
               U.S. weather records.  The hurricane deluged Yankeetown,   
               on the upper west coast of Florida, with 38.7 inches of   
               rain.   
       In 1975 Strong winds reduced visibilities to near zero in blowing   
               dust resulting in a 22-car chain reaction accident on   
               Interstate 10 near Toltec AZ.  Two persons were killed,   
               and 14 others were injured.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms over the Southern and Middle Atlantic Coast   
               States drenched Charleston SC with 5.50 inches of rain,   
               and a total of 13.50 inches in two days, flooding homes,   
               and leaving roads and bridges under water. A tropical storm   
               which formed off the Carolina coast was responsible for   
               torrential rains over coastal regions of South Carolina.   
               Between the 30th of August and the 8th of September,   
               Charleston SC received 18.44 inches of rain.  The heavy rains   
               caused extensive flooding around the city of Charleston,   
               seriously damaged cotton crops in the eastern part of the   
               state, and resulted in an unusally high number of mosquitoes.   
       In 1988 Five days of heavy rain commenced in west central   
               Florida.  Up to 20 inches of rain in four days resulted   
               in extensive urban flooding, and evacuation of 1000   
               homes.  Flooding claimed four lives, and caused more than   
               five million dollars proprty damage.    
       In 1989 Thunderstorms produced six to ten inches of rain in south   
               central Kansas between 6 AM and Noon.  Serious flooding   
               was reported around Wichita, with water four feet deep   
               along some roads.  A cold front crossing the Northern   
               High Plains Region produced wind gusts to 63 mph at   
               Sheridan WY.   
       In 2003 Hurricane Fabian hit Bermuda as a category 3 hurricane,   
               the strongest hurricane to hit there in decades, with   
               120 mph winds. The Bermuda Weather Service reported an   
               unofficial observation of 117 mph sustained winds, with   
               gusts to 127 mph. The Bermuda Airport reported sustained   
               winds of 103 mph, with gusts to 132 mph. Elsewhere,    
               Typhpoon Dujan slammed into the southern Chinese coastal   
               city of Shenzhen, killing at least 20 people, and causing   
               extensive damage to parts of the country's showcase   
               economic development zone. Of the 20 fatalities, 16 were   
               killed when a workers dormitory collapsed, and at least   
               20 others were injured. It was the worst damage to that   
               damage to that region since 1979.   
       In 2017 Hurricane Irma became the most powerful hurricane in the   
               Atlantic Basin, outside of the Caribbean and Gulf Of Mexico   
               with 185 mph winds. She became only the 5th Atlantic Basin   
               Hurricane with a peak wind speed of 180 mph or greater;   
               the others were Allen (1980), the Labor Day Hurricane of   
               1935, Gilbert (1988), and Wilma (2005). She also set the   
               record for being the strongest for so long a period of   
               time...185 mph winds for 35 straight hours. On Sept. 9,   
               the entire Florida peninsula, plus the central and eastern   
               Florida panhandle, were under a Hurricane Warning, with   
               part of the western Florida panhandle under a Tropical   
               Storm Warning...and only the extreme western Florida   
               panhandle not under either one of those (5th-9th).
