 TODAY  Version 3.7   06/24/94       Copyright 1986, 1994  By Patrick Kincaid

 Today is Monday  November 27, 2006.
 This is the 331st day of the year, there are 34 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1883 Fire engines were called out in New York City and New
            Haven CT as a result of the afterglow of the sunset due
            to vivid red ash from the Krakatoa Volcano explosion in
            August.
    In 1898 The "Portland" storm raged across New England
            producing gale force winds along the coast and heavy snow
            inland.  A foot of snow blanketed Boston MA, and
            27 inches fell at New London CT.  Winds at Boston gusted
            to 72 mph, and wind gusts to 98 mph were estimated at
            Block Island RI.  A passenger ship, the S. S. Portland,
            sank off Cape Cod with the loss of all 191 persons
            aboard, and Boston Harbor was filled with wrecked ships.
            The storm wrecked 56 vessels resulting in a total of 456
            casualties.  (26th-28th)
    In 1987 Wet weather prevailed across much of the nation east of
            the Rockies.  Sunny and cool weather prevailed in the
            western U.S.  Snow fell in the central U.S., with totals
            in Kansas ranging up to six inches at Burr Oak.  Much of
            the area from central Oklahoma to southwestern Minnesota
            experienced its first snow of the winter season.
    In 1988 Snow and high winds created blizzard conditions in
            Minnesota.  Winds gusted to 63 mph at Windom, and
            snowfall totals ranged up to 14 inches at Aitkin.
            Snow drifts seven feet high closed many roads.  Fargo ND
            reported a wind chill reading of 34 degrees below zero.
    In 1989 A storm system crossing the north central U.S. spread
            snow across the Dakotas and Minnesota.  Heavy snow fell
            in western South Dakota, with 18 inches reported at
            Galena.  Strong winds associated with the storm gusted to
            50 mph in the Great Lakes Region and the Great Plains
            Region, with blowing dust reported in Kansas.
            Thunderstorms associated with the same storm system
            produced damaging winds in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana
            during the evening, with gusts to 73 mph reported east of
            Ypsilante MI.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed ahead
            of the cold front.  Twenty-three cities from the Gulf
            coast to the Ohio Valley and the Mid Mississippi Valley
            reported record high temperatures for the date, including
            Saint Louis MO with a reading of 76 degrees.
    In 2001 A soggy, stormy period was to plague Arkansas and adjacent
            states over the next 3 days. While portions of northern    
            and northwestern Arkansas got a wintry mix, the rest of the
            state received heavy rain, thunderstorms, and flooding.
            Three day storm totals ranged from 5 to over 10 inches. Portions
            of Oklahoma and western Texas got heavy snow...while areas east
            and south of Arkansas saw tornadoes.
    In 2003 An upper level low ahead of a cold front brought severe
            thunderstorms with large hail and wind damage to Arkansas.
            Ahead of the system along the Gulf Coast, heavy rain,
            severe thunderstorms, and tornadoes were observed.
    In 2005 Supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front,
            bringing tornadoes, hail, high winds, and damage to areas
            of Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas. At the same time,
            blizzard conditions were affecting areas of Colorado,
            shutting down a stretch of Interstate 70. Heavy snow
            fell from the Dakotas down to western Texas. A tornado
            near Morrilton, Arkansas hit a lumber yard, strewing a
            large amount of debris across Interstate 40, resulting
            in a vehicle accident, where one person was killed, and
            several were injured. The vehicle, traveling westbound,
            was thrown into the eastbound lane, and it overturned.
            Several other vehicles were overturned on Interstate 40
            near mile marker 111, due to the storm.
