    Today is Thursday  September 20, 2012.   
    This is the 264th day of the year, there are 102 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1845 A tornado traveled an amazing 275 miles across Lake Ontario,   
               New York and Lake Champlain.   
       In 1926 The hurricane which hit Miami FL on the 18th, pounded   
               Pensacola FL with wind gusts to 152 mph.  Winds raged in   
               excess of 100 mph for four hours, and above 75 mph for 20   
               hours.   
       In 1967 Hurricane Beulah moved into South Texas, and  torrential   
               rains from the hurricane turned the rich agricultural   
               areas of South Texas into a large lake.  Beulah also   
               spawned a record 115 tornadoes.   
       In 1983 The temperature at West Yellowstone MT plunged to   
               six degrees below zero, while the temperature at   
               San Francisco CA soared to 94 degrees.   
       In 1987 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe   
               weather in Oklahoma and west Texas.  In Oklahoma,   
               a thunderstorm at Seiling produced three inches of rain   
               in one hour, golf ball size hail, and wind gusts to   
               60 mph which collapsed a tent at the state fair injuring   
               nine persons.   
       In 1988 Showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in   
               central Wyoming, and snow in some of the higher   
               elevations.  Casper WY reported 1.75 inches of rain in 24   
               hours, and a thunderstorm north of the Wild Horse   
               Reservoir produced 1.90 inches of rain in just 40 minutes.   
               Hugo jilted Iris.  Hurricane Hugo churned toward the   
               Southern Atlantic Coast, gradually regaining strength   
               along the way.  Tropical Storm Iris got too close to   
               Hugo, and began to weaken.   
       In 1989 A cold front brought strong and gusty winds to the Great   
               Basin and the Southern Plateau Region, with wind gusts to   
               44 mph reported at Kingman AZ.   
       In 2000 Violent thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley caused   
               significant damage in many areas...especially in Xenia,   
               Ohio...which was hit by an F-4 tornado. It brought back   
               memories of The Tornado Super Outbreak back in April, 1974.   
               when an F-5 tornado destroyed much of the city.   
       In 2002 Hurricane Isidore, which deluged Jamaica days earlier as   
               a tropical storm, slammed into western Cuba with 105 mph   
               winds. This area was also hit by Hurricane Michelle just   
               10 months earlier. Several tornadoes plowed across Indiana   
               ahead of a strong cold front. Indianapolis and Martinsville   
               were particularly hard hit.
