In a few hours time, temperatures plunged from a balmy, and record, high of 83 F (28oC), to a record low of 17 oF (-8oC). By the next morning the temperature fell to 14 oF (-10oC) — a drop of 69 Fahrenheit degrees (38.3 Celsius degrees) in less than 24 hours. This event is the only date left in the Oklahoma City record books on which the existing record high and record low temperatures for the date occurred on the same day.
That was a bit over 101 years ago. Imagine those folks that had no idea what was coming.
