This Day In Weather History

In 1967, a record November snowstorm buried Washington D.C. with up to a foot of snow in a 12-hour period.

In 2011, incredibly powerful Santa Ana winds with sustained speeds around 80 mph and gusts of 100 to 120 mph roared through Southern California. Roofs were torn off several homes and businesses, large trees were uprooted (some of which fell onto homes and power lines), vehicles were flipped over and power poles snapped. Power outages were reported in many areas, among them Los Angeles International Airport which was without power for about 1 hour. Many inbound flights were diverted and no doubt caused major inconveniences, especially for international flights that originated from as far away as Southeast Asia. Two runways were closed due to strewn debris.
