In 1913 The temperature in Downtown San Francisco soared to
101 degrees to equal their record for October.
In 1937 An unlikely winter-like storm produced as much as ten
inches of snow in Minnesota and Iowa.
In 1987 Ten cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low
temperatures for the date. The low of 34 degrees at
Augusta GA marked their third straight morning of record
cold. A cold front brought showers and thunderstorms to
parts of the central U.S. Lightning struck a bull and
six cows under a tree near Battiest OK.
In 1988 Late afternoon thunderstorms produced severe weather in
southwestern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana. One
thunderstorm spawned a tornado north of Nappanee IN which
caused half a million dollars damage. Six cities in
California reported record high temperatures for the
date. The afternoon high of 100 degrees at Red Bluff CA
was the latest such reading of record for so late in the
autumn season.
In 1989 Heavy snow blanketed the foothills of Colorado. Up to
three inches was reported around Denver. Echo Lake was
buried under nineteen inches of snow. Temperatures
again warmed into the 80s and lower 90s in the eastern
and south central U.S. Thirteen cities reported record
high temperatures for the date, including Atlantic City
NJ with a reading of 84 degrees.
In 2014 (16th-17th) Hurricane Gonzalo reached category 4 with 145
winds, but weakened to a category 3 with 115 mph winds
when it hit Bermuda on the 17th.
