2015: Strong thunderstorms generated gusty and damaging winds estimated at least
60 mph along the western side of the Salton Sea.
Winds blew down over 10 power poles several miles to the northwest of the town of Salton City.
Unseasonable high pressure and warm ocean waters led to very warm October days and the warmest October nights on record from 10/10 through this day.
In San Diego, five out of the six highest October minimum temperatures on record occurred.
The highest minimum temperature in any October was 76° on 10/10 and again on 10/13.
This is only two degrees off the highest minimum temperature for any time of year! (Only
seven nights in history recorded 77 or 78°, all of which occurred during September,
meaning these October nights were warmer than any night in July or August in San Diego).

After moving south into northern Mexico it returned October 17-18, 2015, and combining with another upper level disturbance, reintensified. Abundant moisture through the lower and mid levels of the atmosphere indicated a primed atmosphere for flash flooding during both episodes.
There were 35 warnings issued with 50 different reports of flash flooding or severe weather during this second outbreak of the month.
Rainfall totals in Las Vegas reached 1.25" on the morning of October 17th alone. This broke the all-time precipitable water record for the month of October.
1984: An area of low pressure generated strong gusty winds of over 70 mph across the southern Sierra Nevada knocking down numerous trees.
1969: San Francisco received 2.29" of rain.
1962: Gale-force winds were responsible for the death of three men in Shasta and Siskiyou counties.
A search party was combing the east side of Hatchet Mountain after an airplane was reported to have crashed there.
