1959: Dust storms impacted much of the state of South Dakota beginning on the 6th and on into the 7th. The preceding drought period had left little moisture in the soil, so the fall-plowed fields in exposed locations eroded seriously. Strong winds on the 6th and 7th lifted the loose soil, creating areas of blowing dust. In the localities, visibility was less than a quarter mile for short periods. Some observers stated that it was the worst dust event since the 1930s.

2006: Severe thunderstorms the morning of the 6th produced large hail up to 1.75 inches in diameter near Miller in Hand County. Later on, heavy rains of 3 to 6 inches fell from around midday through the afternoon hours causing flash flooding across parts of Spink, Clark, and Day counties. Many county and township roads were flooded with several of the roads damaged or completely washed out. Areas around Frankfort, Doland, Turton, Conde, Crandall, Raymond, Butler, and Bristol were most affected. Many roads were closed. Also, several basements were flooded and sewers were backed up.

1926: A few minutes after midnight a waterspout came ashore to become a tornado in National City, CA, resulting in the most damaging tornado on record in San Diego County. 8 people were injured. Two homes were totally destroyed. One shingle was driven into the side of a building as if it had been shot from a gun. Trees were downed and power was knocked out.

1936: A tornado outbreak in the Deep South resulted in a total of 446 deaths and $128 million in damage. During the evening of the 5th, a tornado hit Tupelo, MS, killing 216 persons and damaging infant Elvis Presley's neighborhood. The next morning, the paths of two tornadoes met at 8:30 AM and cut a swath four blocks wide through Gainesville, GA, killing 203 persons. At least 70 people died in the Cooper Pants Factory, the greatest tornado toll ever for a single building.
