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

In 1926, the same hurricane that had ravaged Miami on
September 18th ripped through Pensacola with 1-minute
sustained speeds that reached around 150 mph.  Sustained
winds that were greater than 100 mph pounded Pensacola
for 4 hours, while sustained speeds greater than 75 mph
whip lashed the city for an amazing 20 hours.  In 1918,
the temperature in Salina tumbled to 28 degrees.  This is
the earliest in the season that the city has had
temperatures in the 20s.

In 1845, what`s believed to have been a family of
tornadoes reportedly covering a track 275 miles long
extended from Lake Ontario, across upstate New York, to
Lake Champlain.  This family of tornadoes leveled
thousands of acres of forest across Upstate New York
without causing a single fatality.
