    Today is Tuesday  September 25, 2012.   
    This is the 269th day of the year, there are 97 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1939 A west coast hurricane moved onshore south of Los Angeles   
               bringing unprecedented rains along the southern coast of   
               California.  Nearly five and a half inches of rain   
               drenched Los Angeles during a 24 hour period.  The   
               hurricane caused two million dollars damage, mostly to   
               structures along the coast and to crops, and claimed 45   
               lives at sea.  "El Cordonazo" produced 5.66 inches of   
               rain at Los Angeles and 11.6 inches of rain at Mount   
               Wilson, both records for the month of September.   
       In 1987 Hurricane Emily crossed the island of Bermuda during the   
               early morning.  Emily, moving northeast at 45 mph,   
               produced wind gusts to 115 mph at Kindley Field.  The   
               thirty-five million dollars damage inflicted by Emily   
               made it the worst hurricane to strike Bermuda since 1948.   
               Parts of Michigan and Wisconsin experienced their first   
               freeze of the autumn.  Snow and sleet were reported in   
               the Sheffield and Sutton areas of northeastern Vermont at   
               midday.   
       In 1988 Low pressure off the Northern Pacific Coast brought rain   
               and gale force winds to the coast of Washington State.   
               Fair weather prevailed across most of the rest of the   
               nation.   
       In 1989 Twenty-three cities in the south central U.S. reported   
               record low temperatures for the date, including Topeka KS   
               with a reading of 33 degrees, and Binghamton NY with a   
               low of 25 degrees.  Showers and thunderstorms in the   
               southeastern U.S. drenched Atlanta GA with 4.87 inches of   
               rain, their sixth highest total of record for any given   
               day.
