    Today is Sunday  September 21, 2025.   
    This is the 264th day of the year, there are 101 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 1894 A heavy chicken house, sixteen by sixteen feet in area,   
               was picked up by a tornado and wedged between two trees.   
               The hens were found the next day sitting on their eggs in   
               the chicken house, with no windows broken, as though   
               nothing had happened.   
       In 1938 A great hurricane smashed into Long Island and bisected   
               New England causing a massive forest blowdown and   
               widespread flooding.  Winds gusted to 186 mph at   
               Blue Hill MA, and a storm surge of nearly thirty feet   
               caused extensive flooding along the coast of Rhode   
               Island.  The hurricane killed 600 persons and caused 500   
               million dollars damage.  The hurricane, which lasted   
               twelve days, destroyed 275 million trees.  Hardest hit   
               were Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Long   
               Island NY.  The "Long Island Express" produced gargantuan   
               waves with its 150 mph winds.  The waves smashed against   
               the New England shore with such force that earthquake-   
               recording machines on the Pacific coast clearly showed   
               the shock of each wave.   
       In 1954 The temperature at Deeth NV soared from a morning low of   
               12 degrees to a high of 87 degrees, a record daily warm-   
               up for the state.   
       In 1987 Tropical Storm Emily, which formed in the Carribean the   
               previous afternoon, caused considerable damage to the   
               banana industry of Saint Vincent in the Windward Islands.   
               Unseasonably hot weather continued in Florida and the   
               western U.S.  Redding CA and Red Bluff CA, with record   
               highs of 108 degrees, tied for honors as the hot spot in   
               the nation.   
       In 1988 Thunderstorms produced high winds and locally heavy rain   
               in the southwestern U.S.  One thunderstorm in west Texas   
               produced wind gusts to 86 mph at Dell City completely   
               destroying an airport hangar.  A Cessna 150 aircraft   
               housed within the hangar was flipped over and snapped in   
               two.  Thunderstorms produced large hail in east central   
               Utah, while snow blanketed some of the higher elevations   
               of the state.   
       In 1989 Hurricane Hugo slammed into the South Carolina coast   
               about 11 PM, making landfall near Sullivans Island.   
               Hurricane Hugo was directly responsible for thirteen   
               deaths, and indirectly responsible for twenty-two others.   
               A total of 420 persons were injured in the hurricane, and   
               damage was estimated at eight billion dollars, including   
               two billion dollars damage to crops.  Sustained winds   
               reached 85 mph at Folly Beach SC, with wind gusts as high   
               was 138 mph.  Wind gusts reached 98 mph at Charleston,   
               and 109 mph at Shaw AFB.  The biggest storm surge   
               occurred in the McClellanville and Bulls Bay area of   
               Charleston County, with a storm surge of 20.2 feet   
               reported at Seewee Bay.  Shrimp boats were found one half   
               mile inland at McClellanville.
