2011: A slow moving Pacific storm produced isolated heavy snow in the higher terrain of Mohave County (in the northwest corner of AZ near CA border).
The observer at Diamond M Ranch measured 6.5" of snow.
2007: In dense morning fog, the oil tanker Cosco Busan crashed into a tower of the Bay Bridge.
An assessment by the Coast Guard of the causes of the crash concluded that the decision of those in charge of the container ship to set sail in dense fog played a key role in the Nov. 7 accident, which spilled 53,000 gallons of fuel oil into the bay, fouling miles of Bay Area
and ocean shoreline and killing thousands of birds.
Government agencies estimated the cleanup cost at $70 million.
The ship's pilot eventually pleaded guilty to federal pollution charges and was sentenced to 10 months in prison.
2000: Santa Ana winds gusted to 82 mph at Fremont Canyon (Santa Ana Mountains).
1991: It was 100° F in Palm Springs, the latest date in the season to record 100° F or higher on record.
1988: It was 98° F in Borrego Springs, the highest temperature on record for November.
1987: Hayfork residents couldn't help but feel a bit of uncertainty now that nearly 60,000 acres of timberland in the area were charred by forest fires.
In Hayfork, a community of about 2,000, some 150 people were employed at the mill, but others would also be affected.
1966: Tornadoes touched down in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa and caused property damage.
1941: High of 91° F, latest 90° F or better reading on record in Bakersfield since observations started at Meadows Field in 1928.
