This Day In Weather History

 
In 2021, Wichita crushed its record high of 92 set back in 1921 and then again in 1963 with a new record high of 96 degrees. This high was just one degree shy of the all-time record high for October. This also marked the latest day of the year in which Wichita reached a temperature above 95. 39 years earlier in 1982, a record early season snow storm hit the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota, where 41 inches buried Galena, South Dakota. Power was out in some areas for 5 days. && In 1780, the Great Hurricane of 1780 formed in the Caribbean. It would become the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record with an estimated 27,500 fatalities, which alone exceeds that of any other entire decade of Atlantic hurricanes.
