In 1662 A fast was held at Salem MA with prayers for rain, and
the Lord gave a speedy answer.
In 1879 McKinney ND received 7.7 inches of rain in 24 hours,
a state record.
In 1896 The temperature at Fort Mojave CA soared to 127 degrees,
the hottest reading of record for June for the U.S. The
low that day was 97 degrees. Morning lows of 100 degrees
were reported on the 12th, 14th and 16th of the month.
In 1953 Dust devils are usually rather benign weather phenomena,
however, two boys were injured by one near Prescott AZ.
One suffered a black eye, and the other had two vertabrae
fractured by wind-blown debris.
In 1957 East Saint Louis was deluged with 16.54 inches of rain in
24 hours, a record for the state of Illinois.
In 1987 Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced
severe weather in the northwestern U.S. A tornado
damaged five homes and destroyed a barn near Salmon ID.
It lifted a metal shed 100 feet into the air, and
deposited it 100 yards away. Hail an inch and a half in
diameter caused ten million dollars damage to automobiles
at Nampa ID.
In 1988 Severe thunderstorms in the Central High Plains Region
spawned five tornadoes around Denver Co in just one hour.
A strong (F-3) tornado in southern Denver injured seven
persons and caused ten million dollars damage. Twenty-
six cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high
temperatures for the date. The high of 97 at Portland ME
was a record for June. A man in Denver survived a tornado
by clinging to a phone pole. He lost, however, both shoes,
a sock and shirt buttons.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Southern
and Middle Atlantic Coast States. The thunderstorms
spawned 8 tornadoes, including strong (F-3) tornadoes
which injured three persons at Mountville PA and four
persons at Columbia PA. There were 111 reports of large
hail and damaging winds, including wind gusts to 80 mph
at Norfolk VA and Hogback Mountain SC.
