   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

   In 1925 The great "Tri-State Tornado" occurred, the most deadly
           tornado in U.S. history.  The tornado claimed 695 lives
           (including 234 at Murphysboro IL and 148 at West
           Frankfort IL), and caused seventeen million dollars
           property damage.  It cut a swath of destruction 219
           miles long and as much as a mile wide from east central
           Missouri to southern Indiana between 1 and 4 PM.  The
           tornado leveled a school in West Frankfort IL, and
           picked up sixteen students setting them down unharmed
           150 yards away.  Seven other tornadoes claimed an
           additional 97 lives that day.
   In 1971 High winds accompanied a low pressure system from the
           Rocky Mountains to the Great Lakes.  Winds gusted to
           100 mph at Hastings NE, and reached 115 mph at Hays KS.
           High winds caused two million dollars damage in Kansas.
           Fire burned 50,000 forest acres in eastern Oklahoma.
           (17th-19th)
   In 1987 A storm in the central U.S. produced up to 10 inches of
           snow in western Nebraska, and up to six inches of rain
           in eastern sections of the state.  The heavy rains
           pushed the Elkhorn River out of its banks, submerging
           the streets of Inman under three feet of water.
   In 1988 Light rain and snow prevailed east of the Mississippi
           River.  Fair weather prevailed west of the Mississippi.
   In 1989 A storm in the western U.S. produced heavy rain in
           California, with heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada Range.
           Venado, Baja CA was drenched with 5.40 inches of rain in
           24 hours.  A dozen cities in the eastern U.S. reported
           new record high temperatures for the date, including
           Baltimore MD with a reading of 82 degrees.
   In 1990 Heavy rain caused extensive flooding of rivers and
           streams in Georgia, with total damage running well
           into the millions.  Flooding also claimed six lives.
           Nearly seven inches of rain caused 2.5 million dollars
           damage around Columbus, and up to nine inches of rain
           was reported over the northern Kinchafoonee Basin in
           Georgia.
