    Today is Thursday  October 22, 2015.   
    This is the 295th day of the year, there are 70 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 1965 The temperature soared to 104 degrees at San Diego CA.   
               Southern California was in the midst of a late October   
               heat wave that year.  Los Angeles had ten consecutive   
               days with afternoon highs reaching 100 degrees.   
       In 1985 A guest on the top floor of a hotel in Seattle WA was   
               seriously injured while talking on the phone when   
               lightning struck.  Several persons are killed each year   
               when the electrical charge from a lightning bolt travels   
               via telephone wiring.   
       In 1987 Yakutat AK surpassed their previous all-time yearly   
               precipitation total of 190 inches.  Monthly records   
               were set in June with 17 inches, in September with   
               70 inches, and in October with more than 40 inches.   
               Twenty-two cities in the eastern U.S., most in the   
               southeast, reported record low temperatures for the date.   
               Morning lows of 30 at Athens GA, 28 at Birmingham AL, and   
               23 at Pinson AL, were the coldest of record for so early   
               in the season. Showers produced heavy rain in southern   
               California, with amounts ranging up to five inches at   
               Blue Jay.  Flash flooding resulted in two deaths, ten   
               injuries, and more than a million dollars damage.   
       In 1988 A "nor'easter" swept across the coast of New England.   
               Winds gusted to 75 mph, and large waves and high tides   
               caused extensive shoreline flooding.  A heavy wet snow   
               blanketed much of eastern New York State, with a foot of   
               snow reported in Lewis County.   
       In 1989 A storm system moving out of the Gulf of Alaska brought   
               rain to the Northern and Central Pacific Coast Region,   
               with snow in some of the mountains of Oregon, and wind   
               gusts to 60 mph along the Oregon coast.  Six cities in   
               Florida reported record low temperatures for the date,   
               including Tallahassee with a reading of 34 degrees.
