On this Day in Weather History...
In 1886, a massive blizzard struck nearly all of Kansas with little warning. The storm claimed between 50 and 100 lives, and nearly 80 percent of the cattle in the state were killed. In 1989, that happened to be Friday the 13th, was bad luck primarily for the south central U.S. A mixture of snow...and sleet and freezing rain fell across Texas...Oklahoma and Southeast Kansas. Norman Oklahoma reported 8.5 inches of snow on the ground.
WICHITA SETS 2-YEAR RAINFALL RECORD (1/11/2009)
As most, if not all, residents of South-Central Kansas are well aware, colossal rainfalls drenched South-Central Kansas in 2008. In fact, the 53.82 inches measured in 2008 at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport broke the record of 50.48 inches set way back in 1951. This staggering rainfall enabled the Air Capital to set a 2nd rainfall record: Greatest 2-year total ever. (Archive of all Weather Stories)
