February 19[edit]

1884: The Enigma tornado outbreak began, so named because records detailing the outbreak are very scarce. It may have been the worst tornado outbreak in United States history, producing at least 60 tornadoes, $60 million (2006 USD) in damage, and killing hundreds, perhaps more than 1000 people.

2012: An avalanche at Stevens Pass, Washington caught and buried a group of people, including some of the best free skiers and snowboarders in the country, killing three.

2015: Cyclone Lam and Cyclone Marcia, both severe tropical cyclones, struck Northern Territory and Queensland, Australia respectively on the same day.
