    In 1951 The Kaw River flood occurred.  The month of June that
            year was the wettest of record for the state of Kansas,
            and during the four days preceding the flood much of
            eastern Kansas and western Missouri received more than
            ten inches of rain.  Flooding in the Midwest claimed 41
            lives, left 200 thousand persons homeless, and caused a
            billion dollars property damage.  Kansas City was hardest
            hit.  The central industrial district sustained 870
            million dollars property damage.
    In 1980 Lightning struck a large broiler house in Branford FL.
            The ensuing fire broiled 11,000 nearly ready broilers.
            However, firemen were able to save a few thousand chickens.
    In 1987 Cool air invaded the High Plains Region.  Eight
            cities reported record low temperatures for the date,
            including Sheridan WY with a reading of 37 degrees.
            Thunderstorms developing along the cold front in the
            central U.S. produced 6.5 inches of rain at Fort Dodge
            IA, and 2.5 inches in one hour at St Joseph MO.
    In 1988 Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather over the
            Dakotas, including baseball size hail at Aberdeen SD, and
            softball size hail near Fullerton ND.  Thunderstorms
            produced heavy rain in Arkansas and northeastern Texas,
            with 6.59 inches reported at Mesquite TX in just an hour
            and fifteen minutes.  Garland TX reported water up to the
            tops of cars following a torrential downpour.
    In 1989 Early morning thunderstorms over eastern Kansas deluged
            McFarland with more than six inches of rain.  Afternoon
            thunderstorms in Wyoming produced up to 18 inches of dime
            size hail near Rock Springs, along with torrential rains,
            and a three foot high wall of mud and water swept into
            the town causing more than 1.5 million dollars damage.
            Evening thunderstorms produced severe weather in Oklahoma
            and Arkansas, deluging Dardanelle AR with 3.50 inches of
            rain in less than twenty minutes.  About seventy cows
            were killed when lightning struck a tree in Jones County TX.
