    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 1902 The temperature at Volcano Springs CA soared to 129
            degrees to set a June record for the U.S.
    In 1944 Four tornadoes killed 153 persons and caused five million
            dollars damage in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
            Maryland.  The tornadoes formed during the evening and
            moved southeastward along parallel paths flattening
            everything in their way.  The town of Shinnston WV
            was leveled, and was left with the majority of the
            casualities.  Until that time it was believed that
            damaging tornadoes did not travel across mountainous
            terrain.
    In 1957 A few miles west of Fort Stockton TX, softball size hail
            injured 21 persons unable to find shelter, mostly farm
            laborers.  Some livestock were killed.
    In 1969 In Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, a wall of water rising
            to 7 feet tumbled, swirled and crushed houses, vehicles,
            and street pavement.
    In 1987 A massive hailstorm hit eastern Colorado causing an
            estimated 60 to 70 million dollars damage.  At La Junta
            CO, hail as large as softballs caused 37 million dollars
            damage.
    In 1988 Thirty-four cities reported record high temperatures for
            the date.  The reading of 90 degrees at Bluefield WV
            equalled their record for the month of June.  The record
            high of 104 degrees at Billings MT was their thirteenth
            of the month.
    In 1989 Six cities in the High Plains Region reported record low
            temperatures for the date, including Sheridan WY with a
            reading of 38 degrees.  Showers and thunderstorms in the
            eastern U.S. deluged New Castle County DE with 2.5 inches
            of rain in one hour.
    In 2012 Tropical Storm Debby formed in the Gulf Of Mexico, and
            became the earliest 4th storm in the Atlantic Basin on
            record...surpassing Hurricane Dennis of 2005, which
            became a tropical storm on July 5, 2005.
    In 2014 In Arkansas, from 2pm to 11pm, there were nearly 6300
            cloud to ground lightning strikes in Arkansas. In Pulaski
            County, between 5pm and 8pm, there were nearly 500 strikes.
            The Searcy airport measured 1.10 inches of rain in only 11
            minutes from 7:35pm to 7:46pm!!
