    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1886 A devastating tornado, 800 yards in width at times, cut a
            20 mile path through Saint Cloud MN killing 74 persons.
            The bottom of the Mississippi River was said to have been
            seen during the tornado's crossing.  Eleven persons were
            killed at a wedding party near the town of Rice.
    In 1973 A famous Easter blizzard raged across Kansas, Nebraska and
            South Dakota.  Gale force winds blew the wet snow into
            massive drifts, however there were few deaths due to the
            sparse population and due to the gradual increase of the
            storm.
    In 1987 A storm system moving slowly northeastward across the Middle
            Mississippi Valley produced severe thunderstorms which
            spawned three tornadoes around Ottumwa IA, and produced up
            to four inches of rain in southeastern Nebraska, flooding
            rivers and streams.
    In 1988 A weather disturbance off the southern coast of California
            brought parts of southern California their first rain in six
            weeks. Rain-slickened roads resulted in numerous accidents
            in southern California, including a ten car pile-up at
            Riverside.
    In 1989 Late afternoon thunderstorms in northern Florida soaked the
            own of Golden Gate with 4.37 inches of rain in about 2 hours,
            resulting in local flooding.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
            severe weather in southeastern Texas during the mid morning
            hours. Thunderstorms produced dime size hail at Galveston,
            and wind gusts to 59 mph at Port Arthur.  Afternoon
            thunderstorms over southeast Louisiana spawned tornadoes
            south of Bogalusa and at Rio.
    In 2011 (14th-15th) Severe thunderstorms with tornadoes, large
            hail, and damaging winds rolled across Arkansas. Golfball
            size hail occurred in some areas, with 10 tornadoes
            across Arkansas...including an EF1 in west Little Rock.
    In 2012 A tornado outbreak from Oklahoma, through Kansas, Nebraska,
            and Iowa, had over 250 reports of severe weather, with over
            120 tornadoes. Several died in Woodward, Oklahoma...and
            there were several large and violent tornadoes spawned,
            leaving behind widespread damage, and many others were
            were injured. An EF tornado hit Wichita, Kansas...and an
            tornado hit Thurman, Iowa.
