    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    In 1877 A "terrific" two day long sandstorm blasted Yuma AZ.
            (28th-29th)    
    In 1951 A massive hailstorm, from Wallace to Kearney County in
            Kansas, caused six million dollars damage to crops. 
    In 1953 A tornado, 600 yards wide at times, killed two persons on
            its 20 mile path from southwest of Fort Rice ND into
            Emmons County.  Nearly every building in Fort Rice was
            damaged.  The Catholic church was leveled, with some pews
            jammed four feet into the ground.  
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in West Texas produced softball size hail
            at Lamesa, and hail up to twelve inches deep east of
            Dimmitt.  Thunderstorms also spawned seven tornadoes in
            West Texas, including one which injured three persons at
            Wolfforth.  Thunderstorms deluged the Texas Hill Country
            with up to 11 inches of rain.  Severe flooding along the
            Medino, Hondo, Seco, Sabinal and Frio rivers caused more
            than fifty million dollars damage. 
    In 1988 A powerful cold front brought snow and high winds to
            parts of the western U.S.  Austin NV was blanketed with
            ten inches of snow, and winds gusted to 75 mph at the
            Mojave Airport in California.  Strong southerly winds and
            unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the north central
            U.S.  Glasgow MT equalled their record for the month of
            May with a high of 102 degrees.    
    In 1989 Wintry weather gripped parts of the northwestern U.S. for
            the second day in a row.  Great Falls MT was blanketed
            with 12 inches of snow, which pushed their total for the
            winter season to a record 117.4 inches.  Six inches of
            snow whitened the Cascade Mountains of Oregon.   
    In 1990 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
            weather from north central Colorado to the northern half
            of Texas.  Severe thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes,
            and there were seventy reports of large hail or damaging
            winds.  Midday thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 90
            mph at Hobart OK, and produced up to three and a half
            inches of rain in eastern Colorado in four hours. 
    In 2001 Hurricane Adolph became the strongest May hurricane in
            the Eastern Pacific with 145 mph winds.
    In 2013 Hurricane Barbara made landfall in the Mexican State of
            Chiapas as a category 1 hurricane. This is the easternmost
            landfull location for an Eastern North Pacific Hurricane
            since reliable records began in 1966, and it is also the
            second earliest hurricane landfall in the reliable record.
