    Today is Tuesday  September 9, 2025.   
    This is the 252nd day of the year, there are 113 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 1921 A dying tropical depression unloaded 38.2 inches of rain   
               upon the town of Thrall in southeastern Texas killing 224   
               persons.  36.4 inches fell in 18 hours.   
       In 1944 The "Great Atlantic Hurricane" ravaged the east coast.   
               The storm killed 22 persons and caused 63 million dollars   
               damage in the Chesapeake Bay area, then besieged New   
               England killing 390 persons and causing another 100   
               million dollars damage.   
       In 1971 Hurricane Ginger formed, and remained a hurricane until   
               the 5th of October.  The 27 day life span was the longest   
               of record for any hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean.   
       In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the central U.S.   
               Thunderstorms in West Texas spawned four tornadoes in the   
               vicinity of Lubbock, and produced baseball size hail and   
               wind gusts to 81 mph at Ropesville.  Thunderstorms   
               produced hail two inches in diameter at Downs KS and   
               Harvard NE, breaking car windows at Harvard.     
       In 1988 Florence became a hurricane and headed for the Central   
               Gulf Coast Region.  Florence made landfall early the next   
               morning, passing over New Orleans LA.  Winds gusts to 80   
               mph were recorded at an oil rig south of the Chandeleur   
               Islands.  Wind gusts around New Orleans reached 61 mph.   
               Total property damage from Florence was estimated at 2.5   
               million dollars.   
       In 1989 The first snow of the season began to whiten the   
               mountains of Wyoming early in the morning, as for two   
               days a moist and unusually cold storm system affected the   
               state.  By the morning of the 11th, a foot of snow   
               covered the ground at Burgess Junction.  Thunderstorms   
               developing along a cold front crossing the Ohio Valley   
               produced severe weather in Indiana during the late   
               afternoon and early evening hours.  Strong thunderstorm   
               winds blew down a tent at Palestine injuring seven   
               persons, and frequent lightning interrupted the Purdue   
               and Miami of Ohio football game, clearing the stands.   
       In 2009 Hurricane Fred became the second major hurricane of the   
               season; but what was unusual was that Fred was only the   
               third major hurricane noted east of 35 degrees west    
               longitude in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean...and the   
               strongest hurricane ever so far south and east. This   
               type of system would have been very difficult to   
               accurately observe before satellite pictures began in   
               the 1960s.
