We’ve mentioned it in past podcast episodes and compared it already to so many of the strongest in American History; "The Great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935" was the most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record in terms of barometric pressure, and is tied with Hurricane Dorian in 2019 (yesterday's podcast episode) for the strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane by maximum sustained winds, with winds of 185 mph (295 km/h).  It was also the most intense Atlantic hurricane on record until Hurricane Gilbert in 1988.

September 2 - The Labour Day Leveling of South Florida

"This Day In Weather History" is a daily podcast from The Weather Network that features unique and informative stories written and produced by host Chris Mei. Weather happens every day. It can be sunny, cloudy, stormy or maybe just unsettled, but it is always happening! It’s when severe weather strikes that it captures the attention of those affected…and the imagination of everyone else who follows the story. So it is with good reason to expect that after over a century of news and weather information gathering and record keeping, there would be a "special" weather or natural phenomena event to mark each day of a calendar. Do you remember the first recorded tornado in Canadian history? No, you don’t because none of us were there...so we dive into that! How about when Prince played the Super Bowl halftime show? It’s possibly the best performance ever for that event….and the backstory made it all the more special! Or how about the 25th Anniversary Woodstock Festival back in 1994? It’s all here - all year - in one podcast.... "This Day In Weather History"!
