fishing fleets along the coast. In Maine, the barometric pressure reached

...1955...
An early season cold snap finally came to an end. Helena MT experienced 138
consecutive hours of subzero temperatures, including a reading of 29 below

of November. Missoula MT broke their November record by 12 degrees with a
reading of 23 below zero, and Salt Lake City UT smashed their previous

...1957...
A tornado, 100 yards in width, travelled a nearly "straight as an arrow"
27-mile path from near Rosa AL to near Albertville AL, killing three
persons. A home in the Susan Moore community in Blount County was picked up
and dropped 500 feet away killing one person. (The Weather Channel)
...1986...
