 On this day...
    In 1821 A hurricane made landfall at Long Island, near Kennedy
            Airport, then moved through western Connecticut.  The
            hurricane produced a record tide at New York City.
    In 1953 The temperature at Erie PA reached 99 degrees,
            and Stroudsburg PA established a state record
            for September with a reading of 106 degrees.
    In 1961 Denver CO received 4.2 inches of snow, their earliest
            snow of record.
    In 1967 100+ mph winds drove golfball size hail across the Texas
            Panhandle. One stone was 11" in circumference.
    In 1970 During the early evening hours, in the midst of a severe
            hailstorm at Coffeyville KS, a stone 17.5 inches in
            circumference and nearly two pounds in weight was
            recovered.  It was the largest measured hailstone in U.S.
            weather records.  Average stone size from the storm was
            five inches in diameter, with another stone reportedly
            eight inches in diameter.
    In 1987 Temperatures dipped into the 40s and 50s for morning lows
            across much of the eastern half of the country, with
            eleven cities reporting record lows for the date.
            Pellston MI tied Gunnison CO for honors as the cold spot
            in the nation with a low of 30 degrees.  Smoke from
            forest fires darkened skies in southern Oregon
            and northern California.
    In 1988 Sixteen cities in the northwestern U.S. reported record
            high temperatures for the date.  Highs of 89 degrees
            at Stampede Pass WA and 116 at Redding CA established
            records for the month of September.  Readings of 98 at
            Spokane WA and 100 at Yakima WA equalled records for
            September.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
            severe weather from Minnesota to Nebraska during the day
            and evening.  Evening thunderstorms in Nebraska produced
            wind gusts to 100 mph at Valentine and Gretna, and
            produced baseball size hail at Lewellen.  Thunderstorms
            in Arizona produced 2.20 inches of rain in forty minutes
            at Green Valley, and wind gusts to 60 mph.  Eight cities
            in Texas and Florida reported record high temperatures
            for the date, including Victoria TX and San Antonio TX
            with readings of 102 degrees.
