Weather Fact for Today

On May 9, 1985...
Lightning struck some trees about 150 yards away from a home in Alabama, and followed the driveway to the home. The charge traveled through the house, burning all the electrical outlets, ruining appliances, and blasting a hole in the concrete floor of the basement.

Also on May 9, 1977...
A late season snowstorm hit parts of Pennsylvania, New York State, and southern and central New England. Heavier snowfall totals included 27 inches at Slide Mountain, New York, and 20 inches at Norwalk, Connecticut. At Boston it was the first May snow in 107 years of records. The heavy wet snow caused extensive damage to trees and power lines, knocking out power to half a million people following the storm.
