On This Day
1904 – A flash flood near Pueblo, Colorado, washed a train from the tracks killing 89 passengers. A bridge, weakened by the floodwaters sweeping through the valley below, gave way under the weight of the train dashing all but the sleeping cars into the torrent drowning the occupants. Rail service was frequently interrupted in the Rocky Mountain Region and southwestern U.S. that summer due to numerous heavy downpours which washed out the railroad beds delaying trains as much as five days.
1986 – A rare outbreak of seven tornadoes occurred in New England. One tornado carved its way through Cranston, Rhode Island, and Providence, Rhode Island, causing twenty injuries. Rhode Island had not reported a tornado in twelve years, and three touched down in 24 hours.
