    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 1966 Record snows fell in the northeastern Ohio and western
            Pennsylvania, including 3.1 inches at Pittsburgh PA and
            5.4 inches at Youngstown OH.  Snow also extended across
            parts of New York State, with 8 inches reported in the
            southern Adirondacks.    
    In 1977 A late season snowstorm hit parts of Pennsylvania,
            New York State, and southern and central New England. 
            Heavier snowfall totals included 27 inches at Slide
            Mountain NY and 20 inches at Norwalk CT.  At Boston it
            was the first May snow in 107 years of records.  The
            heavy wet snow caused extensive damage to trees and power
            lines.  The homes of half a million persons were without
            power following the storm.  (9th-10th) 
    In 1985 Lightning struck some trees about 150 yards away from a
            home in Alabama, and followed the driveway to the home. 
            The charge went through the house and burned all the
            electrical outlets, ruined appliances, and blasted a hole
            in the concrete floor of the basement.    
    In 1987 Unseasonably warm weather spread from the Pacific
            Northwest to the Upper Mississippi Valley.  Fifteen
            cities reported record high temperatures for the date. 
            It was the fourth day of record warm temperatures for
            Eugene OR and Salem OR.    
    In 1988 A massive cyclone in the central U.S. produced severe
            thunderstorms from eastern Texas to the Upper Ohio
            Valley.  A strong (F-3) tornado ripped through Middleboro
            KY causing more than 22 million dollars damage. 
            Thunderstorms in east central Texas produced hail three
            and a half inches in diameter at Groesbeck and near
            Fairfield.    
    In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front in the
            south central U.S. produced golf ball size hail and wind
            gusts to 62 mph at Mira LA, and during the morning hours
            drenched Stuttgart AR with five inches of rain.   
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the central U.S.
            during the evening hours, mainly from southeastern
            Missouri to southwestern Indiana.  Severe thunderstorms
            spawned four tornadoes, including two strong (F-2)
            tornadoes in southern Illinois.  Strong thunderstorm
            winds gusted to 85 mph at Orient IL, and to 100 mph
            at West Salem.  Thunderstorms drenched northeastern
            Illinois with up to 4.50 inches of rain. Elsewhere,
            1000 people died as a violent tropical cyclone lay waste to
            about 100 miles of India's southeast coast.
    In 2002 Centralia IL was hard hit by severe storms which tore
            through a mobile home park...2 were killed.
