This Day In Weather History

In 2012, Sandy continued to tear through the Northeast and Great Lakes. West Virginia was buried under 1 to 3 feet of wet snow that caused many buildings to collapse, and around 272,000 to lose power. In Ohio, around 250,000 lost power, and 65 to 70 mph gusts lashed parts of Cleveland. In all, 148 died directly from Sandy, with 73 of them in the United States. Overall Sandy caused around $68 billion damage, of which $65 million occurred in the United States, making Sandy the second costliest Atlantic Basin hurricane in United States history.

In 1917, the low in Wichita was 14 degrees. This is the coldest temperature ever recorded in the city for the month of October.

In 1987, severe thunderstorms in extreme Southwest Oklahoma, near the town of Gould, produced golf ball sized hail and gusts measured at 74 mph.
