    Today is Friday  November 7, 2025.   
    This is the 311st day of the year, there are 54 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 1940 The Galloping Gertie bridge at Tacoma WA collapsed in   
               strong winds, resulting in a six million dollar loss, just   
               four months after the grand opening of the new bridge.   
               The winds caused the evenly sized spans of the bridge to   
               begin to vibrate until the central one finally collapsed.   
               From then on, bridges were constructed with spans of   
               varying size.   
       In 1951 At 7 AM a blinding flash, a huge ball of fire, and a   
               terrific roar occurred over parts of Texas, Oklahoma and   
               Kansas, caused by a disintregrating meteor.  Windows were   
               broken in and near Hinton OK by the concussion.   
       In 1986 An early season blizzard struck the Northern Plains   
               Region.  North Dakota took the brunt of the storm with   
               wind gusts to 70 mph, and snowfall totals ranged up to 25   
               inches at Devils Lake.   
       In 1987 Heavy snow fell across parts of eastern New York State   
               overnight, with twelve inches reported at the town of   
               Piseco, located in the Mohawk Valley.  A storm in the   
               southwestern U.S. left nine inches of snow at the Winter   
               Park ski resort in Colorado.  Smoke from forest fires   
               reduced visibilities to less than a mile at some   
               locations from North Carolina to Ohio and Pennsylvania.   
       In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather continued across the state of   
               Texas.  Seven cities reported record high temperatures   
               for the date, including Waco and Del Rio with readings of   
               92 degrees.  McAllen was the hot spot in the nation with   
               an afternoon high of 96 degrees.   
       In 1989 Shortly after daybreak strong thunderstorms developed in   
               a narrow, but almost stationary, east-west band across   
               the New Orleans area in southeastern Louisiana.  As a   
               result, heavy rains persisted over the same area until   
               mid afternoon before tapering off, and triggered flash   
               flooding across a five county area.  Rains of 8 to 12   
               inches deluged the area between 9 AM and 6 PM, and totals   
               for the 48 hour period ending at 7 AM on the 8th ranged   
               up to 19.78 inches, between Lake Lexy and Lake Borgne.   
               Approximately 6000 homes in the area reported water   
               damage.  The rainfall total for November of 19.81 inches   
               at New Orleans was their highest total for any given   
               month of the year.
