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

In 2011, the most powerful storm to strike Northwest
Alaska since 1974 did so with sustained winds that
reached 66 mph and gusts that reached a nasty 93 mph.
Gusts ranging from 55 to 85 mph roared along the Alaskan
West Coast.  The storm produced torrential rains and a
storm surge around 10 feet that inundated coastal
communities, while a blizzard raged as the storm moved
further inland.  Although the vicious storm did not
qualify as an Arctic Hurricane (which is similar to its
tropical counterpart in that it possesses an eye but in a
much smaller diameter) some dubbed the storm a
"blizzicane".  In 2006, the high in Wichita soared to 86
degrees, the warmest temperature ever recorded for the
month of November.

In 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan, the 4th most powerful
typhoon on record in terms of central pressure which, at
the typhoon`s peak, was 26.43 inches in mercury, roared
into the Philipines.  Haiyan produced winds that were
stunning.  As the super typhoon approached the
Philipines, 10-MINUTE sustained speeds reached a
startling 145 MPH while 1-MINUTE sustained speeds reached
a stupefying 195 MPH.  Gusts reached 235 MPH, well above
the 200-mph threshold for an E F 5 tornado.  It is likely
that around 6,500 people were killed with damages
estimated around $2.86 billion.
