...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...



In 1934, the most severe dust storm in history raged

from the Great Plains to the Atlantic Coast.  Strong

higher level winds carried around 350 million tons of

silt across the Central and Eastern thirds of the

country.  The dust lodged into the eyes and throats of

many New Yorkers, and collected on the decks of ships

some 300 miles from shore.

In 1972, a cloudburst dumped 16 inches of rain just

north of New Braunfels Texas.  This sent a 30 foot wall

of water down Blueders Creek into the Comal and Guadalupe

Rivers.  The flood claimed 18 lives and caused around $20

million damage.
