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

 Today is Wednesday  November 24, 2004.
 This is the 329th day of the year, there are 37 days left.

 On this day...
    In 1812 Southwesterly winds of hurricane force sank ships and
            unroofed buildings at Philadelphia and New York City.
    In 1863 The "battle above the clouds" was fought on Lookout
            Mountain near Chattanooga.  Pre-frontal clouds obscured
            the upper battlefield aiding a Union victory.
    In 1923 Yale beat Harvard during a rain-soaked football game in
            Cambridge, Massachusetts.
    In 1950 The temperature at Chicago IL dipped to 2 below zero
            to equal their record for the month established on the
            29th in 1872.  On the first of the month that year
            Chicago established a record high for November with a
            reading of 81 degrees.
    In 1982 Hurricane Iwa lashed the Hawaiian Islands of Niihau,
            Kauai, and Oahu with high winds and surf.  Winds gusting
            to 120 mph caused extensive shoreline damage.  Damage
            totalled 150 million dollars on Kauai, and fifty million
            dollars on Oahu.  The peak storm surge on the south shore
            was six to eight feet.  It marked the first time in 25
            years that Hawaii had been affected by a hurricane.
    In 1987 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in southern
            Missouri, southeast Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma.
            Flooding was reported in Greene County of southwestern
            Missouri.  Springfield MO was drenched with more than six
            inches of rain.  Thunderstorms over southern Texas
            produced more than eight inches of rain in Caldwell
            County and Hayes County, and thunderstorms over south
            central Oklahoma produced one inch hail at Temple twice
            within an hour.
    In 1988 Low pressure brought heavy snow and high winds to the
            Northern and Central Rockies.  Snowfall totals in
            Colorado ranged up to 40 inches at Wolf Creek Pass, with
            27 inches falling in 24 hours.  Telluride CO received 32
            inches of snow, and winds atop Mines Peak gusted to 95 mph.
    In 1989 "Mother Nature" completed a one-two punch in the
            northeastern U.S., as record cold temperatures followed
            in the wake of record snows.  A dozen cities reported
            record low temperatures for the date.  Morning lows of
            one above zero at Hartford CT, 3 at Portland ME, and 6 at
            Providence RI, were records for November.  Houlton ME was
            the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 14
            degrees below zero.
