    In 1894 A record late snow of 2 to 8 inches whitened parts of
            central and eastern Kentucky.  Lexington received six
            inches of snow.    
    In 1916 A tornado struck the town of Codell KS.  Another tornado
            struck the town the next year, and a third tornado hit
            again the following year.  
    In 1957 A tornado touched down to the southwest of Kansas City
            and traveled a distance of seventy-one miles cutting a
            swath of near total destruction through the southeastern
            suburbs of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Mills.  The tornado
            claimed the lives of forty-five persons, and left
            hundreds homeless.  It was the worst weather disaster of
            record for Kansas City.    
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in southern Texas produced grapefruit size
            hail, by Dilley, and produced wind gusts to 73 mph at
            Lake Amistad.  The large hail broke windows, killed small
            animals, and damaged watermelon.  Thunderstorms
            developing along a warm front produced severe weather
            from Indiana to the Dakotas.  Thunderstorms produced
            baseball size hail at Denver IA, and wind gusts to 80 mph
            in southern Henry County IL.    
    In 1988 Thunderstorms in the south central U.S. produced wind
            gusts to 70 mph at Omaha NE, and wind gusts to 80 mph at
            Midland TX and Dallas TX.  Temperatures in California
            soared into the 90s and above 100 degrees.  San Jose CA
            reported a record high of 97 degrees.    
    In 1989 Pre-dawn thunderstorms produced large hail in eastern
            Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas.  Later in the morning
            thunderstorms in North Carolina produced dime size hail
            at Hanging Dog.  Thunderstorms also produced severe
            weather from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the Central
            Plains Region later that day and night, with baseball size
            hail reported around Lawn TX, Novice TX, and Eola. TX.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather across the
            southeastern quarter of the nation through the day
            and night.  Severe thunderstorms spawned six tornadoes,
            including one which injured two persons at Algoma MS and
            another which injured nine persons at Rogersville MO. 
            There were 119 reports of large hail or damaging winds.
