The Battle of Germantown was fought in a morning fog that grew more dense with the smoke of battle, causing great confusion. Americans firing at each other contributed to the loss of the battle. |
| OCTOBER 4TH, 1869 |
A great storm struck New England. The storm reportedly was predicted twelve months in advance by a British officer named Saxby. Heavy rains and high floods plagued all of New England, with strong winds and high tides over New Hampshire and Maine. Canton CT was deluged with 12.35 inches of rain. |

Hurricane Hilda struck Louisiana spawning many tornadoes, and claimed twenty-two lives. |
| OCTOBER 3RD, 1841 |

An early season windstorm over Oregon and northern California blew down thousands of trees and caused great crop damage in the Sacramento Valley. |

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.
