In 2017, the high temperature at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport hit 94 degrees. This not only set a record for November 2nd, which torched the record of 87 degrees set in 2012, but also set a November record, which had been 89 degrees set on November 5th, 2005. && In 1743, Ben Franklin discovered the direction of movement to a coastal storm. In Philadelphia, rain prevented him from seeing a lunar eclipse, while in Boston, his brother saw the eclipse, but rain began there an hour later. It was discovered that storms can move north along the coast and not just from west to east.
