    Today is Sunday  September 7, 2025.   
    This is the 250th day of the year, there are 115 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 1881 The temperature soared to 101 degrees at New York City,   
               102 degrees at Boston MA, and 104 degrees at Washington D.C.   
       In 1888 Much of the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast Region   
               experienced freezing temperatures.  Killer frosts   
               resulted in a million dollars damage to crops in Maine.   
       In 1909 Topeka KS was drenched with 8.08 inches of rain in   
               24 hours to establish a record for that location.  (6th-7th)   
       In 1970 A lightning bolt struck a group of football players at   
               Gibbs High School in Saint Petersburg FL, killing two   
               persons and injuring 22 others.  All the thirty-eight   
               players and four coaches are knocked off their feet.   
       In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced 4 to 8 inch rains in   
               three to six hours in Virginia, with totals across the   
               state for the Labor Day weekend ranging up to fourteen   
               inches.  The Staunton River crested at 34.44 feet at   
               Altavista on the 8th, its highest level since 1940.   
               Damage due to flooding was estimated at seven million   
               dollars in Bedford, Henry, and Franklin.   
       In 1988 Fifty cities across the eastern U.S. reported record low   
               temperatures for the date.  The low of 56 degrees at   
               Mobile AL was their coolest reading of record for so   
               early in the season.  The mercury dipped to 31 degrees at   
               Athens OH, and to 30 degrees at Thomas WV.   
       In 1989 Thunderstorms in the central U.S. produced four inches of   
               rain at Texamah overnight, and up to six inches of rain   
               in southwestern Iowa.  Evening thunderstorms in eastern   
               Colorado produced golf ball size hail at Clear Creek and   
               at Nederland.  Late evening thunderstorms in Iowa   
               drenched Harlan with more than four inches of rain.   
       In 2002 Tropical Storm Fay came ashore at Matagorda Bay, Texas,   
               producing flooding rains and several tornadoes.   
       In 2012 (7th-8th) A line of severe thunderstorms associated with   
               a cold front sweeping across Arkansas, brought widespread   
               damage, in the form of damaging winds (one home weather   
               measured gusts near 85 mph), hail (up to baseball size in   
               in some cases), and nearly continuous lightning. From 3pm   
               Sept. 7 to 5am Sept. 8, there were approximately 53,000   
               cloud to ground lightning strikes in Arkansas. Between   
               8pm and 9pm Sept. 7, approximately 12,200 lightning   
               strikes occurred...averaging over 200 strikes a minute!!   
       In 2020 Tropical Storms Paulette and Rene form over the eastern   
               Atlantic...the earliest named P and R storms in the   
               Atlantic basin.
