    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 1819 A small but intense hurricane passed over Bay Saint Louis
            MS.  The hurricane was considered the worst in fifty
            years.  Few houses were left standing either at Bay Saint
            Louis or at Pass Christian, and much of the Mississippi
            coast was desolate following the storm.  A U.S. cutter
            was lost along with its thirty-nine crew members.  The
            storm struck the same area that was hit 150 years later
            by Hurricane Camille.
    In 1898 A severe hailstorm pummeled Chicago with 11 ounce stones.
            Many people were injured not by hail, but by runaway horses.
    In 1930 The temperature at Greensburg KY soared to 114 degrees to
            set a state record.
    In 1934 The temperature at Grofino ID climbed to 118 degrees to
            establish a record for Idaho.
    In 1952 A severe storm with hail up to an inch and a half in
            diameter broke windows, ruined roofs, and stripped trees
            of leaves near Benson AZ.  The temperature dropped to 37
            degrees, as hail was three to four inches deep, with
            drifts 46 inches high.
    In 1986 Severe thunderstorms moving out of South Dakota across
            Iowa produce high winds which derailed eighteen piggyback
            trailer cars of a westbound freight train near Boone IA.
            Sixteen of the cars fell 187 feet into the Des Moines
            River.  The thunderstorms also spawned a number of
            tornadoes, including one which caused fifty million
            dollars damage at Sloan, near Sioux City IA.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in Nevada produced wind gusts to 70 mph at
            Searchlight, reducing visibilities to near zero in
            blowing dust and sand.  Thunderstorms in Montana drenched
            Lonesome Lake with 3.78 inches of rain.
    In 1988 Thunderstorms drenched Wilmington NC with 3.33 inches of
            rain, bringing their monthly total 14.46 inches.  Seven
            cities in Michigan and Minnesota reported record high
            temperatures for the date.  Marquette MI hit 99 degrees,
            and the record high of 94 degrees at Flint MI was their
            tenth of the month.
    In 1989 Afternoon thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging
            winds in Massachusetts.  Early evening thunderstorms over
            Florida produced wind gusts to 68 mph at Fort Myers, and
            evening thunderstorms in South Dakota produced nearly two
            inches of rain in twenty minutes at Pierpoint.
