No meteorological events(hurricanes) so I'll take seismology today. 


1985A strong earthquake kills thousands and destroys about 400 buildings in Mexico City.


2017 – The 2017 Puebla earthquake strikes Mexico, causing 370 deaths and over 6,000 injuries, as well as extensive damage.


And astronomy:

1852Annibale de Gasparis discovers the asteroid Massalia from the north dome of the Astronomical Observatory of Capodimonte.
