| OCTOBER 3RD, 1964 |
Hurricane Hilda struck Louisiana spawning many tornadoes, and claimed twenty-two lives. |
| OCTOBER 3RD, 1841 |
An October gale, the worst of record for Nantucket MA, caught the Cap Cod fishing fleet at sea. Forty ships were driven ashore on Cape Cod, and 57 men perished from the town of Truro alone. Heavy snow fell inland, with 18 inches near Middletown CT. |
| OCTOBER 2ND, 1882 |
An early season windstorm over Oregon and northern California blew down thousands of trees and caused great crop damage in the Sacramento Valley. |
| OCTOBER 2ND, 1898 |
A hurricane struck the Georgia coast washing away Campbell Island. |
| OCTOBER 1ST, 1752 |
The second severe hurricane in two weeks hit the Carolinas. The Onslow County Courthouse was destroyed along with all its records, and Beacon Island disappeared. |
| OCTOBER 1ST, 1893 |
The storm surge of a hurricane traveling from the Gulf of Mexico submerges the Louisiana bayou country where 2,000 are killed within two days. On the same day, in 1752, the Carolinas are hammered by a second hurricane arriving within two weeks that destroys the Onslow County courthouse and causes Beacon Island to vanish. |
| SEPTEMBER 30TH, 1959 |
Three tornadoes spawned by the remnants of Hurricane Gracie killed 12 persons at Ivy VA. |
| SEPTEMBER 30TH, 1970 |
A nineteen month drought in southern California came to a climax. The drought, which made brush and buildings tinder dry, set up the worst fire conditions in California history as hot Santa Anna winds sent the temperature soaring to 105 degrees at Los Angeles, and to 97 degrees at San Diego. During that last week of September whole communities of interior San Diego County were consumed by fire. Half a million acres were burned, and the fires caused fifty million dollars damage. |
| SEPTEMBER 29TH, 1983 |
Heavy rains began in central and eastern Arizona which culminated in the worst flood in the history of the state. Eight to ten inch rains across the area caused severe flooding in southeastern Arizona which resulted in thirteen deaths and 178 million dollars damage. President Reagan declared eight counties of Arizona to be disaster areas. |
| SEPTEMBER 29TH, 1927 |
An outbreak of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Indiana caused 81 deaths and 25 million dollars damage. A tornado (possibly two tornadoes) cut an eight-mile long path across Saint Louis MO, to Granite City IL, killing 79 persons. The damage path at times was a mile and a quarter in width. The storm followed a similar path to tornadoes which struck in 1871, 1896, and 1959. |
| SEPTEMBER 28TH, 1836 |
The first of three early season snows brought four inches of snow to Hamilton NY, and two inches to Ashby MA. |
