In 1752 The second severe hurricane in two weeks hit the
Carolinas. The Onslow County Courthouse was destroyed
along with all its records, and Beacon Island
disappeared.
In 1893 The second great hurricane of the 1893 season hit
the Mississippi Delta Region drowning more than
1000 persons.
In 1977 After yesterday's monthly record high of 108 degrees,
Wichita Falls, Texas, cooled today with a high of 87.
In 1987 A blast of cold arctic air hit the north central U.S.
An afternoon thunderstorm slickened the streets of Duluth
MN with hail and snow, and later in the afternoon, strong
northerly winds reached 70 mph. Unseasonably warm
weather continued in the Pacific northwest. Highs of 90
at Olympia WA, 92 at Portland OR, and 89 at Seattle WA,
were records for October. For Seattle WA it marked the
twenty-first daily record high for the year, a record
total in itself.
In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
weather across central Oklahoma and the eastern half of
Texas. Thunderstorms in Texas produced softball size
hail northwest of Nocona, and baseball size hail at Troy
and Park Springs.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the southeastern
U.S. through the daytime and evening hours. Severe

Moultrie GA killed two persons and injured a dozen
others. Tornadoes also injured one person north of
Graceville FL, and two persons at Bartow GA.
In 2002 Category 2 Hurricane Lili hit western Cuba, the same area
