    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    First day of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season.
    In 1834 The Northern Atlantic Coast States were in the midst of
            their greatest May snowstorm of record.  The hills around
            Newbury VT were covered with two to three feet of snow. 
    In 1968 A tornado touched down southwest of Anchorage AK ...the
            only tornado of record in Alaska. On that same day,
            Jonesboro in northeast Arkansas was hit by a tornado; 34
            people were killed.
    In 1972 The worst ice jam flooding of memory for long-time
            residents took place along the Kuskokwim River and Yukon
            River in Alaska.  It was the first time since 1890 that
            the two rivers "flowed as one".  The towns of Oscarville
            and Napaskiak were completely inundated.  (15th-31st) 
    In 1987 Unseasonably warm weather returned to the north central
            U.S.  Seven cities reported record high temperatures for
            the date, including Janestown ND with a reading of 96
            degrees.  Thunderstorms in Utah produced five inches of
            rain south of Bicknell.    
    In 1988 Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced wind gusts to 80 mph
            in Oklahoma County, and baseball size hail at Pawnee. 
            Hail piled up to a dpth of 18 inches south of Pawnee. 
            Hail damage in Oklahoma was estimated at close to
            25 million dollars.  Thunderstorms in the Upper Midwest
            produced golf ball size hail around Cleveland OH, and
            wind gusts to 83 mph at Angola IN.    
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing along and north of a stationary
            front produced severe weather in the south central U.S. 
            Thunderstorms spawned 11 tornadoes, and there were 145
            reports of large hail and damaging winds.  Softball size
            hail caused 2.1 million dollars damage at Sherman TX. 
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Central
            Plains Region and Oklahoma to Indiana and western
            Kentucky.  Thunderstorms spawned fifteen tornadoes,
            inclduing seven in Oklahoma, and there were 165 reports
            of large hail or damaging winds.  A tornado killed one
            person, injured a dozen others and caused four million
            dollars damage at Stillwater OK, and another injured
            eight persons at Foyil OK.  Thunderstorms in Oklahoma
            also produced wind gusts to 92 mph at Oologah Lake,
            and softball size hail at Canton and north of Oakwood. 
    In 2013 Severe weather blasted much of north and central Texas,
            with numerous reports of tornadoes, winds over hurricane
            force, and hail to the size of softballs. An EF-3 tornado
            hit Cleburne, and an EF-4 tornado hit Granbury. At least
            16 tornadoes hit the region, killing at least 6, injuring
            over 100, and causing widespread damage.
