On this day in 2013, a calendar-day record 2.76 inches of rain fell. “Rain totals mount as relentless coastal storm is stuck,” I headlined an article at the time. Rain totals ranged from 1 to 5 inches from the storm, made up of the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen and a midlatitude storm system that produced a blizzard in South Dakota and tornadoes to the south. Washington Dulles International Airport received more than 3 inches.
Here are other notables from this date:
