   In 1927 A tornado wiped out the town of Rock Springs TX killing
           72 persons and causing 1.2 million dollars damage.  The
           tornado, more than one mile in width, destroyed 235 of
           247 buildings, leaving no trace of lumber or contents
           in many cases.  Many survivors were bruised by large hail
           which fell after the passage of the tornado.
   In 1934 Winds atop Mount Washington NH averaged 186 mph for five
           minutes, with a peak gust of 231 mph, the highest wind speed
           ever clocked in the world. The actual gust may have been
           higher, but the anemometer broke at 231 mph.
   In 1945 On the day President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died,
           tornadoes raked northwest Arkansas with 25 fatalities. This
           was part of a major outbreak from Oklahoma into Missouri.
   In 1987 A cold front crossing the central U.S. produced heavy snow
           in the Central Rockies, and severe thunderstorms over Kansas
           and Oklahoma.  Snowfall totals ranged up to 16 inches at
           Red Mountain Pass CO.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 87 mph
           at Ponca City OK. Winds associated with the cold front
           itself gusted to 69 mph at Tucumcari NM. A weak tornado
           touched down at Bosque Farms, NM,bending a basketball
           backboard on a metal pipe, so the top was 5 feet from the
           ground.
   In 1988 Snow blanketed the Southern Appalachians.  Totals in North
           Carolina ranged up to 17 inches at Mitchell. Winds at Flat
           Top Mountain gusted to 80 mph.
   In 1989 Twenty-two cities in the south central and eastern U.S.
           reported record low temperatures for the date, including
           Elkins WV with a low of 15 degrees, and Baton Rouge LA
           with a reading of 37 degrees.
   In 1990 Arctic air invaded the central U.S.  Lincoln NE reported
           a record low of 17 degrees.  Thunderstorms developing along
           the arctic cold front produced heavy snow in north central
           Kansas, wind gusts to 61 mph at Midland TX, and wind gusts
           to 69 mph at Rawlins WY.  Warm weather prevailed in the
           southwestern U.S.  Las Vegas NV reported a record high of
           91 degrees, and on the 13th, Sacramento CA reported a record
           high of 95 degrees.
