In 1958 More than six inches of snow fell at Tucson AZ.
The most severe November cold wave in U.S. history was in
progress. A weather observing station located 14 miles
northeast of Lincoln MT reported a reading of 53 degrees
below zero, which established an all-time record low
temperature for the nation for the month of November.
Their high that day was one degree above zero.
In 1987 High winds and heavy snow created blizzard conditions
across parts of eastern Colorado. Wind gusts reached 68
mph at Pueblo, and snowfall totals ranged up to 37 inches
at Echo Lake. In Wyoming, the temperature dipped to 14
degrees below zero at Laramie. Strong thunderstorms in
Louisiana drenched Alexandria with 16.65 inches of rain
in thirty hours, with an unofficial total of 21.21 inches
north of Olla. Flash flooding in Louisiana caused five
to six million dollars damage. (15th-16th)
In 1988 A powerful low pressure system in the north central U.S.
produced high winds across the Great Lakes Region, with
wind gusts to 60 mph reported at Chicago IL. Heavy snow
blanketed much of Minnesota, with eleven inches reproted
at International Falls.
In 1989 9 students died when a "weak" tornado wrecked a cafeteria
wall, making it the deadliest weak tornado in US history.
Snow and gusty winds invaded the north central U.S. Winds
gusting to 40 mph produced wind chill readings as cold as
25 degrees below zero, and blizzard conditions were
reported in Nebraska during the late morning hours. High
winds around a powerful low pressure system produced
squalls in the Great Lakes Region. Winds gusted to 63
mph at Whitefish Point MI, and snowfall totals in
Michigan ranged up to 19 inches at Hart, north of
Muskegon. (15th-16th)
In 2020 Iota becomes a catastrophic category 5 hurricane with 160 mph
winds in the Gulf Of Mexico, the latest in the season for such
an intense storm. It hit nearly the same area blasted by
category 4 Churricane Eta just 2 weeks earlier, but it had
weakened slightly to a strong category 4 hurricane.

In 1869 Southwest winds of hurricane force swept the Berkshire
and Green Mountains of New England causing extensive
forest and structural damage.
In 1927 A tornado cut a seventeen mile path across Alexandria and
southeastern Washington D.C. injuring 31 persons. The
tornado struck the Naval Air Station where a wind gust of
93 mph is recorded. A waterspout was seen over the
Potomac River ninety minutes later.
In 1953 The temperature at Minneapolis MN reached 71 degrees,
their warmest reading of record for so late in the
autumn.
In 1987 A storm in the Rockies produced 21 inches of snow at the
Monarch ski resort in Colorado, with 14 inches reported

the wake of the severe weather outbreak of the previous
two days. Eight cities reported record low temperatures
for the date, including Gilbert AR with a reading of 8
degrees. A fast moving storm blanketed the Great Lakes
Region and Upper Ohio Valley with snow during the night.
Totals ranged up to 12 inches at Pellston MI and Little
Valley NY.
In 1999 Hurricane Lenny, approached category 5 status with 150
mph winds, as it slammed into the northeast Caribbean.
The storm moved from west to east, developing a few days
earlier west of Jamaica...an unprecedented event.
In 2002 A winterlike storm hit much of New England, with New
Jersey receiving significant ice accumulations. At one
time, over 87,000 homes were without power.
In 2003 Thunderstorms with heavy rain and strong wind swept across
the Houston, TX area. Parts of Houston received as much as
10 inches of rain in 24 hours, with several bayous and
creeks overflowing causing severe flooding. Several units
at a Houston apartment complex lost their roofs from a
possible tornado (several tornadoes were observed around
the area). In nearby Sugarland, TX, 16 people were injured
in weather related auto accidents...most from the strong
winds blowing their vehicles off of the road.
In 2013 A major severe weather outbreak occurred from the Upper
Midwest through the Middle Mississipi Valley, into the
Tennessee and Ohio Valley region. Numerous reports of
severe weather...including tornadoes and damaging winds...
were noted in many areas...with some of the tornadoes and
damaging winds termed as "significant". Widespread damage,
as well as numerous injuries and fatalities occurred across
several states. An NFL game in Chicago was delayed by the
severe weather in the area. Storms were moving at nearly 80
in some cases...and with some of the tornadoes, there were
"debris balls" noted on radar. Several vehicles were also
overturned, due to the high winds. Preliminary data had
over 400 severe weather reports...and around 80 of those
were tornadoes. One tornado that hit Washington County,
was rated as an EF-4.
In 2014 (17th-21st) The Lake Effect Snow Machine was in high gear
on the eastern shore of Lake Erie. Five to more than seven
feet of snow (almost a years worth), piled up just south
and east of Buffalo, New York. Buildings collapsed under
the weight of the snow. At least 13 people died.

cold front itself gusted to 56 mph at Cincinnati OH. The
same storm produced snow in Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois, with eight inches reported at Rolla MO.
In 1989 Low pressure brought thunderstorms and high winds to the
northeastern U.S. There were 193 reports of damaging
winds with thunderstorms in New York State, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. Tornadoes touched down near Seaside Park
NJ and McAlevys Port PA. Winds with thunderstorms gusted

observed in several areas, with snowfall rates of over 3
inches an hour at times. Four day record storm totals were
nearly 7 feet in some areas. Numerous vehicles were left
abandoned on roads, plus travel bans and emergencies were
declared. Even mass transit (buses, Amtrak, etc.) canceled
service, and an NFL game was moved to Detroit, Michigan.
Whiteout conditions existed in many areas with blizzard
conditions. Some structures collapsed due to the heavy
weight of the wet snow on the roofs. Tragically, some
people suffered fatal heart attacks from shoveling snow.
