Texas and Oklahoma's Greatest Hits Institutional Repository Document uri icon

abstract

  • This compilation identifies (through purely subjective means) the most significant weather events to strike Texas and Oklahoma since the keeping of regular weather records. This information first appeared in Nielsen-Gammons monthly column for The Cattleman magazine. Weather events are divided into thirteen categories, and the key weather events in each category are listed and described. In all, 94 weather events are listed, some in more than one category. The earliest was the Indianola hurricane of 1875, and the most recent was the San Antonio flood of 2002. At the rate of a bit less than once per year, major weather events will continue to occur in Texas and Oklahoma, so addenda will be posted when appropriate.
