    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 1854 The Connecticut River reached a level of nearly twenty-
            nine feet at Hartford (the highest level of record up
            until that time).  The record height was reached in the
            midst of a great New England flood which follows sixty-
            six hours of steady rain. 
    In 1935 Snow, ice and sleet brought winter back to parts of
            southeastern Minnesota.  Minneapolis received three
            inches of snow to tie their May record established in
            1892.  (1st-2nd) 
    In 1954 The temperature at Polebridge MT dipped to 5 degrees below
            zero to esablish a state record for the month of May. 
    In 1980 Ball lightning, in the form of an orange fireball, was
            reported flying horizontally over the Arabian Sea.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced large hail and heavy rain in
            Texas.  Baseball size hail pounded Dublin, and 3.75
            inches of rain soaked Brady. 
    In 1988 Strong southerly winds ahead of a cold front crossing the
            Rocky Mountain Region gusted to 90 mph at Lamar CO.  High
            winds created blinding dust storms in eastern Colorado,
            closing roads around Limon. 
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced heavy rain in the southeastern
            U.S.  Rainfall totals of 1.84 inches at Charlotte NC and
            2.86 inches at Atlanta GA were records for the date. 
            Strong thunderstorm winds uprooted trees in Twiggs County
            GA.   
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from northern
            Alabama to North Carolina.  There were sixty-three
            reports of large hail or damaging winds, with hail
            four inches in diameter reported near Cartersville GA. 
            Ten cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date as readings warmed into the
            90s.  Jacksonville FL reported a record high of
            96 degrees.  Late night thunderstorms over central Texas
            produced up to ten inches of rain in southern Kimble
            County and northern Edwards County.
    In 1992 The Thunderbolt BBS, Arkansas' GT Power Weather BBS, goes
            online for the first time.
