On this day...
   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 1912 A tornado with incredible velocity ripped into downtown
           Houston TX breaking the water table and giving the city
           its first natural waterspout.
   In 1923 Residents in the eastern U.S. awoke on "April Fool's Day"
           to bitterly cold temperatures.  The mercury plunged to
           34 degrees below zero at Bergland MI and to 16 degrees
           in Georgia.
   In 1946 The Scotch Cap Lighthouse on Unimak Island, Alaska, was hit
           by 2 earthquakes in 27 minutes...then obliterated by a tidal
           wave.
   In 1987 Forty-five cities across the southeastern U.S. reported
           record low temperatures for the date.  Lows of 37 degrees
           at Apalachicola FL, 34 degrees at Jacksonville FL, 30
           degrees at Macon GA, and 22 degrees at Knoxville TN, were
           records for April. A tornado touched down briefly during
           a snow squall on the south shore of White Fish Bay (six
           miles northwest of Bay Mills WI).  A mobile home was
           unroofed and insulation was sucked from its walls.
   In 1988 A powerful spring storm produced 34 inches of snow at Rye,
           CO, 22 inches at Timpas OK, 19 inches at Sharon Springs KS,
           and up to 35 inches in New Mexico.  Severe thunderstorms
           associated with the same storm spawned a tornado which
           caused 2.5 million dollars damage at East Mountain TX.
   In 1989 Up to six inches of snow blanketed the Adirondacks of eastern
           New York State and the Saint Lawrence Valley of Vermont.
           Up to a foot of snow blanketed the Colorado Rockies.
   In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Texas, from southern
           Arkansas and northern Louisiana to southern Georgia, and from
           northern South Carolina to the Upper Ohio Valley during the
           day and evening. Thunderstorms spawned a tornado at Evergreen,
            Alabama, and there were more than eighty reports of large
            hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorms produced baseball size
           hail north of Bastrop Louisiana, and produced damaging winds
           which injured one person west of Meridian, Mississippi.
