In 1939 A west coast hurricane moved onshore south of Los Angeles
bringing unprecedented rains along the southern coast of
California. Nearly five and a half inches of rain
drenched Los Angeles during a 24 hour period. The
hurricane caused two million dollars damage, mostly to
structures along the coast and to crops, and claimed 45
lives at sea. "El Cordonazo" produced 5.66 inches of
rain at Los Angeles and 11.6 inches of rain at Mount
Wilson, both records for the month of September.
In 1987 Hurricane Emily crossed the island of Bermuda during the
early morning. Emily, moving northeast at 45 mph,
produced wind gusts to 115 mph at Kindley Field. The
thirty-five million dollars damage inflicted by Emily
made it the worst hurricane to strike Bermuda since 1948.
Parts of Michigan and Wisconsin experienced their first
freeze of the autumn. Snow and sleet were reported in
the Sheffield and Sutton areas of northeastern Vermont at
midday.
In 1988 Low pressure off the Northern Pacific Coast brought rain
and gale force winds to the coast of Washington State.
Fair weather prevailed across most of the rest of the
nation.
In 1989 Twenty-three cities in the south central U.S. reported
record low temperatures for the date, including Topeka KS
with a reading of 33 degrees, and Binghamton NY with a
low of 25 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms in the
southeastern U.S. drenched Atlanta GA with 4.87 inches of
rain, their sixth highest total of record for any given
day.
