 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
    weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1877 The second coastal storm in just three days hit Virginia
            and the Carolinas.  The first storm flattened the sand dunes
            at Hatteras, and widened the Oregon inlet three quarters of
            a mile. The second storm produced hurricane force winds along
            the coast of North Carolina causing more beach erosion and
            land transformation.
    In 1955 The town of Axis AL was deluged with 20.33 inches of rain in
            24 hours establishing a state record.
    In 1986 A major spring storm quickly intensified bringing blizzard
            conditions to much of the Northern Plains Region.  Up to 18
            inches of snow was reported in North Dakota, and in South
            Dakota, winds gusting to 90 mph whipped the snow into drifts
            fifteen feet high. Livestock losses were in the millions of
            dollars, and for some areas it was the worst blizzard ever.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in northern Texas produced wind gusts to 98
            mph at the Killeen Airport, causing a million dollars in
            property damage. Two airplanes were totally destroyed by the
            high winds, and ten others were damaged.
    In 1988 Low pressure off the Atlantic coast produced high winds
            across North Carolina, with gusts to 78 mph reported at
            Waves.  The high winds combined with high tides to cause
            coastal flooding and erosion.  About 275 feet of land was
            eroded from the northern tip of Pea Island.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms in central Florida produced golf ball size
            hail and a tornado near Lakeland FL.  Fair and mild weather
            prevailed across most of the rest of the nation.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe
            weather in central Oklahoma and north central Texas.
            Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced up to six inches of golf
            ball size hail along I-40 near El Reno, and produced wind
            gusts to 75 mph at Okarche. Thunderstorms over north central
            Texas produced softball size hail northwest of Rotan, and
            high winds which injured two persons southeast of Itasca.
    In 1991 (9th-13th) A 3 mile long ice jam on Maine's St. John River
            broke up, releasing a 30 foot wall of ice, crushing cars,
            and houses.
