...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...

In 2017, the worst and costliest natural disaster in
Texas history began, when Category 4 Hurricane Harvey
struck the Southeast Texas Coast late that evening.
Harvey made landfall very close to Rockport with winds
around 130 mph that destroyed, and in many cases leveled,
countless structures.  Worst of all, Harvey stalled and
for 4 days inundated Southeast Texas with hideously
historic rainfall.  Many areas in and around Houston were
overwhelmed by 3.5 to 4.5 FEET of rain, most occurring on
the 26th and 27th.  The phenomenal 51.88 inches measured
at Cedar Bayou set a record for the continental United
States.  Harvey caused around $125 billion damage.  In
1941, an F3 tornado destroyed three businesses and a few
homes on the edge of Lincolnville, located in Northeast
Marion County.Damage was around $70,000 and 6 people
were injured.
