Today is Friday  June 10, 2016.
This is the 162nd day of the year, there are 204 days left.

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 1752 It is believed that this was the day Benjamin Franklin
           narrowly missed electrocution while flying a kite during
           a thunderstorm to determine if lightning is related to
           electricity.
   In 1957 A dust devil at North Yarmouth ME lifted a 600-1000 pound
           chicken shelter into the air and carried it 25 feet.  It
           landed upright with only slight damage.  It is unknown
           whether any eggs were scrambled.
   In 1958 A woman was sucked through the window of her home in
           El Dorado KS by a powerful tornado, and was carried sixty
           feet away.  Beside her was found a broken phonograph
           record entitled "Stormy Weather".
   In 1969 Hail damaged about 80% of the homes and businesses (5600
           structures) in Plainview, Texas.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms produced 2 to 4 inch rains in southern
           Texas.  Two and a half inches of rain at Juno TX caused
           flooding and closed a nearby highway.  Flooding on the
           northwest side of San Antonio claimed one life as a boy
           was swept into a culvert.  Thunderstorms in the north
           central U.S. produced an inch and a half of small hail at
           Monida Pass MT.
   In 1988 Three dozen cities, mostly in the eastern U.S., reported
           record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV
           with a reading of 33 degrees.  Unseasonably hot weather
           continued in the Northern High Plains Region.  The record
           high of 105 degeees at Williston ND was their seventh in
           eight days.
   In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather through the day and
           night across much of the southern half of the Great
           Plains Region.  Thunderstorms spawned 14 tornadoes, and
           there were 142 reports of large hail and damaging winds.
           Hail three inches in diameter caused three millions
           dollars damage at Carlsbad NM.  Hail four inches in
           diameter was reported at Estelline TX and Stinnett TX.
           Thunderstorm winds gusted to 80 mph at Odessa TX.
