 On this day...
    In 1947 The eye of a hurricane passed directly over New Orleans,
            and the barometric pressure dipped to 28.61 inches.  The
            hurricane killed 51 persons, and caused 110 million
            dollars damage.  It produced wind gusts to 155 mph while
            making landfall over Fort Lauderdale FL two days earlier.
    In 1967 Hurricane Beulah deluged Brownsville TX with 12.19 inches
            of rain in 24 hours, to establish a record for that
            location.  Hurricane Beulah made landfall on the 20th
            near the mouth of the Rio Grande River, where a wind gust
            to 135 mph was reported by a ship in the port. (19th-20th)
    In 1987 Cool autumn-like weather invaded the Central Rockies.
            Temperatures dipped into the 30s and 40s, with teens and
            20s reported in the higher elevations.  Gunnison CO was
            the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 15
            degrees.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a fast moving cold front
            produced severe weather in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana
            and Michigan.  Eight tornadoes were reported, including
            five in Indiana.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 74 mph at
            Wabash IN.  Winds associated with the cold front itself
            gusted to 69 mph at Kenosha WI.
    In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in
            the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast Region.  Cape
            Hatteras NC was deluged with nearly 3.50 inches of rain
            in three hours.  Syracuse NY reported 1.77 inches of
            rain, a record for the date, and Chatham NJ reported
            an all-time record of 3.45 inches in one day. Hurricane
            Hugo headed for the Bahamas, and Tropical Storm Iris,
            following close on its heels, strengthened to near
            hurricane force.
    In 1999 Tropical Storm Harvey formed in te Gulf of Mexico, and took
            an unexpected southeast turn toward Naples, Florida; before
            crossing south Florida, and being absorbed by a cold front
            near the Bahamas on the 22nd.
