    Today is Monday  September 8, 2025.   
    This is the 251st day of the year, there are 114 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 1900 The greatest weather disaster in U.S. records occurred   
               when a hurricane struck Galveston TX.  A tide  fifteen   
               feet high washed over the island demolishing or carrying   
               away buildings, and drowning more than 6000 persons.  The   
               hurricane destroyed more than 3600 houses, and total   
               damage was more than thirty million dollars.  Winds to   
               120 mph, and a twenty foot storm surge accompanied the   
               hurricane.  Following the storm, the surf was 300 feet   
               inland from the former water line.  The hurricane claimed   
               another 1200 lives outside of the Galveston area.  (8th-   
               9th)   
       In 1987 A tropical depression off the coast of South Carolina   
               brought another round of heavy rain to the Middle   
               Atlantic Coast Region and the Upper Ohio Valley.  Showers   
               and thunderstorms produced extremely heavy rain in   
               eastern Pennsylvania, where flooding caused more than   
               55 million dollars damage across a seven county area. The   
               afternoon high of 97 degrees at Miami FL was a record for   
               the month of September.   
       In 1988 Eighteen cities in the south central and eastern U.S.   
               reported record low temperatures for the date, including   
               Roanoke VA with a reading of 42 degrees.   
       In 1989 Thunderstorms developing along a stationary front   
               produced very heavy rain in the central U.S.  Thunder-   
               storms during the late morning and afternoon produced   
               5 to 9 inches of rain around Lincoln NE, with an   
               unofficial total of eleven inches near Holmes Park.   
               Up to six and a half inches of rain soaked northern and   
               western Iowa.  Eighty to ninety percent of the homes in   
               Shenandoah IA, where 5.89 inches of rain was received,   
               reported basement flooding.   
       In 2012 Severe weather barreled across the northeast US and   
               mid-Atlantic as a powerful cold front brought heavy rain,   
               high winds, and at least one tornado into a beachfront   
               neighborhood of New York City. A watersport with 70 mph   
               winds became a tornado when it came ashore at Breezy   
               Point, a Queens neighborhood on the western edge of the   
               Rockaway Peninsula. The tornado spiraled a mixture of   
               sand and debris, which was largely flung onto a nearby   
               baseball field. A second confirmed tornado touched down   
               in Brooklyn...rated an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale.   
               Tornado watches and warnings were in effect for much of   
               of the day across parts of New York, New Jersey, and   
               Connecticut. The severe weather even forced the U.S.   
               Open men's and women's singles tennis matches in   
               Flushing Meadows, to be rescheduled to the next day.   
               Elsewhere, 65,000 people were without power in the   
               Washington, DC area, and surrounding areas. And, twelve   
               people were injured as they tried to evacuate Show Place   
               Arena, 20 miles east of Washington, DC, in Maryland.   
       In 2014 Moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Norbert in the   
               Eastern Pacific basin, dropped 3.30 inches of rain at   
               Phoenix, AZ...the most rain in one day, since records began   
               in 1895.
