 Today is Saturday  April 1, 2017.
 This is the 91st day of the year, there are 274 days left.

 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 1912 A tornado with incredible velocity ripped into downtown
            Houston TX breaking the water table and giving the city
            its first natural waterspout.
    In 1923 Residents in the eastern U.S. awoke on "April Fool's Day"
            to bitterly cold temperatures.  The mercury plunged to
            34 degrees below zero at Bergland MI and to 16 degrees
            in Georgia.
    In 1946 The Scotch Cap Lighthouse on Unimak Island, Alaska, was hit
            by 2 earthquakes in 27 minutes...then obliterated by a tidal
            wave.
    In 1987 Forty-five cities across the southeastern U.S. reported
            record low temperatures for the date.  Lows of 37 degrees
            at Apalachicola FL, 34 degrees at Jacksonville FL, 30
            degrees at Macon GA, and 22 degrees at Knoxville TN, were
            records for April. A tornado touched down briefly during
            a snow squall on the south shore of White Fish Bay (six
            miles northwest of Bay Mills WI).  A mobile home was
            unroofed and insulation was sucked from its walls.
    In 1988 A powerful spring storm produced 34 inches of snow at Rye,
            CO, 22 inches at Timpas OK, 19 inches at Sharon Springs KS,
            and up to 35 inches in New Mexico.  Severe thunderstorms
            associated with the same storm spawned a tornado which
            caused 2.5 million dollars damage at East Mountain TX.
    In 1989 Up to six inches of snow blanketed the Adirondacks of eastern
            New York State and the Saint Lawrence Valley of Vermont.
            Up to a foot of snow blanketed the Colorado Rockies.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Texas, from southern
            Arkansas and northern Louisiana to southern Georgia, and from
            northern South Carolina to the Upper Ohio Valley during the
            day and evening. Thunderstorms spawned a tornado at Evergreen,
             Alabama, and there were more than eighty reports of large
             hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorms produced baseball size
            hail north of Bastrop Louisiana, and produced damaging winds
            which injured one person west of Meridian, Mississippi.
