Local Weather History For May 23rd...

A wet microburst descended on the town of Sealy with 80 to 100 mph winds knocking down trees and powerlines. There was
significant damage to buidlings across the Sealy area and 20 students were slightly injured by flying debris while
attending a function at Sealy High School. On this date in 1892, a late season surge of cool weather filtered into
Southeast Texas. Early morning lows were in the lower and middle 40s. Houston reported a low temperature of 45 degrees
and this is latest time of the year that temperatures have ever fallen into the 40s. On this date in 1898, Huntsville
received over 5 inches of rain.
