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

In 2000, record heat continued to broil parts of Central
and South-Central Kansas.  Salina was torched by their
hottest temperature ever in the month of September when
the mercury soared to a sizzling 110 degrees while
Wichita baked in 108 degree heat.  This tied September
3rd, 1947 for the Air Capital`s hottest temperature ever
for September.

In 1935, likely the most violent hurricane ever to
strike the United States, the infamous Labor Day
Hurricane roared through the Florida Keys with sustained
winds around 200 MPH.  The hurricane produced a 15 foot
storm surge, waves around 30 feet high, killed 408
people, and caused around $6 million damage.  The
barometric pressure at Long Key Florida dropped to 26.35
inches, the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in
the United States at that time.
