    Today is Tuesday  October 21, 2025.   
    This is the 294th day of the year, there are 71 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 1934 A severe windstorm lashed the northern Pacific coast.  In   
               Washington State, the storm claimed the lives of   
               22 persons, and caused 1.7 million dollars damage, mostly   
               to timber.  Winds, gusting to 87 mph at North Head WA,   
               produced waves twenty feet high.   
       In 1957 The second in a series of unusual October storms hit   
               southern California causing widespread thunderstorms.   
               Santa Maria was drenched with 1.13 inches of rain in two   
               hours.  Hail drifted to 18 inches in East Los Angeles.   
               Waterspouts were sighted off Point Mugu and Oceanside.   
               (20th-21st)   
       In 1987 Cold arctic air continued to invade the central U.S.   
               Eleven record lows were reported in the Great Plains   
               Region, including lows of 12 at Valentine NE, and   
               9 at Aberdeen SD.  Temperatures warmed rapidly during the   
               day in the Southern and Central Plains Region.  Goodland   
               KS warmed from a morning low of 24 degrees to an   
               afternoon high of 75 degrees.   
       In 1988 Joan, the last hurricane of the season, neared the coast   
               of Nicaragua packing 125 mph winds.  Joan claimed more   
               than 200 lives as she moved over Central America, and   
               total damage approached 1.5 billion dollars.  Crossing   
               more than 40 degrees of longitude, Hurricane Joan never   
               strayed even one degree from the 12 degree north   
               parallel.   
       In 1989 Unseasonably cold weather continued to grip the south   
               central and southeastern U.S.  Twenty cities reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Calico   
               Rock AR with a reading of 26 degrees, and Daytona Beach   
               FL with a low of 41 degrees.  Squalls in the Great Lakes   
               Region finally came to an end, but not before leaving   
               Marquette MI buried under 12.7 inches of snow, a record   
               24 hour total for October.
