December 10

[edit]

1951: As Typhoon Amy moved slowly across the Philippines, the volcano Mount Hibok-Hibok erupted several times. The typhoon killed nearly 1,000 people across the country, and the volcano killed or displaced nearly 30,000 people due to these and other eruptions in the surrounding days.

2000: Cyclone Sam, two days after making landfall over Lagrange Bay, continued to produce torrential rainfall over Western Australia, with up to 520 millimetres (20 in) of rain recorded in just 48 hours.

2021: A violent tornado outbreak killed 90 people in the Central United States, including 75 in Kentucky alone. The 69 tornadoes that touched down were the most ever recorded for an outbreak in the month of December, until that record was broken less than a week later.
