In 1911, one day after invading the Northern and Central Plains with what many considered the most dangerous Arctic Outbreak on record, the infamous "Great Blue Norther" tightened its grip on Kansas with single digit temperatures. Wichita`s low of 9 degrees marked the city`s earliest autumn occurrence of a single degree temperature. && In 1970, the deadliest tropical cyclone in history occurred when the Great Bhola Cyclone barreled into East Pakistan. (Present day Bangladesh.) The category 4 cyclone`s one minute sustained winds reached around 140 mph. The severe cyclone struck during an above average lunar high tide, which contributed greatly to a storm surge that reached around 20 feet. Around 500,000 people were killed with around $490 million damage. $$ Auto
