    Today is Monday  October 1, 2012.   
    This is the 275th day of the year, there are 91 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       In 1752 The second severe hurricane in two weeks hit the   
               Carolinas.  The Onslow County Courthouse was destroyed   
               along with all its records, and Beacon Island   
               disappeared.   
       In 1893 The second great hurricane of the 1893 season hit   
               the Mississippi Delta Region drowning more than   
               1000 persons.   
       In 1977 After yesterday's monthly record high of 108 degrees,   
               Wichita Falls, Texas, cooled today with a high of 87.   
       In 1987 A blast of cold arctic air hit the north central U.S.   
               An afternoon thunderstorm slickened the streets of Duluth   
               MN with hail and snow, and later in the afternoon, strong   
               northerly winds reached 70 mph.  Unseasonably warm   
               weather continued in the Pacific northwest.  Highs of 90   
               at Olympia WA, 92 at Portland OR, and 89 at Seattle WA,   
               were records for October.  For Seattle WA it marked the   
               twenty-first daily record high for the year, a record   
               total in itself.   
       In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe   
               weather across central Oklahoma and the eastern half of   
               Texas.  Thunderstorms in Texas produced softball size   
               hail northwest of Nocona, and baseball size hail at Troy   
               and Park Springs.   
       In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the southeastern   
               U.S. through the daytime and evening hours.  Severe   
               thunderstorms spawned eleven tornadoes, with seven of   
               those tornadoes in Georgia.  A tornado southwest of   
               Moultrie GA killed two persons and injured a dozen   
               others.  Tornadoes also injured one person north of   
               Graceville FL, and two persons at Bartow GA.   
       In 2002 Category 2 Hurricane Lili hit western Cuba, the same area   
               that was hit by Hurricane Isidore just 10 days earlier,   
               and by Hurricane Michelle in November, 2001.
