THESE PAST EVENTS MADE HISTORY
THE GREAT APPALACHAIN STORM IN 1950
The so-called “storm of the century” hit the eastern part of the
United States, killing hundreds and causing millions of dollars
in damages, on November 25, 1950.
Also known as the “Appalachian Storm,” it dumped record
amounts of snow in parts of the Appalachian Mountains.
Forming over North Carolina just before Thanksgiving, the
storm quickly moved north, striking western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio and West Virginia.
These areas were blanketed with several feet of snow for
several days and travel was impossible for nearly a week
in some places.

THE MURDER OF THE 35th U.S. PRESIDENT
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
CULT CAME TO AN END ON THIS DAY IN 1978
On November 18, 1978, Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones
lead hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide at
their agricultural commune in a remote part of the South
American nation of Guyana.
Many of Jones’ followers willingly ingested a poison-laced
punch while others were forced to do so at gunpoint.
The final death toll at Jonestown that day was 909; a third
of those who perished were children.
