    On this day...   
       In 1846 A great hurricane tracked across Cuba, Florida, Georgia,   
               the Carolinas, Virginia and Pennsylvania.  The hurricane   
               inflicted major damage along its entire path, which was   
               similar to the path of Hurricane Hazel 108 years later.   
               The hurricane caused great damage at Key West FL, and at   
               Philadelphia PA was the most destructive storm in thirty   
               years.   
       In 1986 Four tornadoes struck southeastern Virginia late in the   
               night causing three million dollars damage.  Tornadoes at   
               Falls Church VA caused a million dollars damage.   
       In 1987 Fifteen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low   
               temperatures for the date.  Record lows included 34 at   
               Meridian MS, 28 at Paducah KY, and 26 at Beckley WV.   
               Another surge of arctic air entered the north central   
               U.S. bringing snow to parts of Wyoming and Colorado.   
       In 1988 A total of forty-three cities in the eastern U.S. and the   
               Upper Midwest reported record low temperatures for the   
               date, including Elkins WV and Marquette MI where the   
               mercury dipped to 18 degrees.   
       In 1989 Sixteen cities reported record high temperatures for the   
               date as readings warmed into the 80s and low 90s from the   
               Southern and Central Plains to the Southern and Middle   
               Atlantic Coast.  Evansville IN and North Platte NE   
               reported record highs of 91 degrees.
