For more current weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov In 1873 A blizzard raged across the Great Plains. Many pioneers, unprepared for the cold and snow, perished in southwest Minnesota and northwestern Iowa. In 1971 The temperature at Hawley Lake, located southeast of McNary AZ, plunged to 40 degrees below zero to establish a state record. In 1987 A storm in the southwestern U.S. produced 30 inches of snow north of Zion National Park in southern Utah, with 18 inches reported at Cedar Canyon UT. In 1988 A winter storm in the southeastern U.S. produced 27 inches of snow in the Bad Creek area of South Carolina, and claimed the lives of two million chickens in Alabama. In 1989 A tornado in southern Illinois obliterated half the community of Allendale, injuring fifty perons and causing more than five million dollars damage, while thunderstorm winds gusting higher than 100 mph caused ten million dollars damage at Franklin KY. Twenty-five cities, from the Gulf coast to Michigan, reported record high temperatures for the date. In 1990 A rapidly intensifying low pressure system and a vigorous cold front brought heavy rain and high winds to the Pacific Northwest. Two to five inch rains soaked western Washington and western Oregon, and winds gusting above 70 mph caused extensive damage. Wind gusts on Rattlesnake Ridge in Washington State reached 130 mph. --- * Synchronet * The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
