This Day In Weather History

 
In 1973, North Central Oklahoma was inundated by 15 to 20 inches of rain in 13 hours. Enid received 15.68 inches from nearly stationary thunderstorms, which established a 24-hour state rainfall record. In Dover, Oklahoma, 125 of 150 homes were damaged by flooding. && In 1804, a weather event that was so surreal that it was seemingly of 'Twilight Zone' material occurred when a snow hurricane struck New England. This bizarre storm leveled forests so thoroughly that the change in landscape led people to believe they were living in new, unfamiliar surroundings. Dozens of buildings were heavily damaged or destroyed and many churches lost steeples, among them the famous North Church in Boston. Most areas received 5 to 15 inches of wet snow, with a few areas buried in 2 to 3 feet. The death toll is unknown.
