   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 1682 A major tornado ripped through southwestern Connecticut,
           passing through Stratford, Milford, and New Haven, and
           then into Long Island Sound.
   In 1921 Circle MT received 11.5 inches of rain in 24 hours,
           a record for the state.  The town of Circle received a
           total of 16.79 inches of rain that month to establish a
           rainfall record for any town in Montana for any month of
           the year.
   In 1928 A farmer near Greensburg KS looked up into the heart of
           a tornado.  He described its walls as "rotating clouds
           lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy
           odor with a screaming, hissing sound".
   In 1964 A squall line producing large hail swept through central
           Illinois.  A second squall line moved through during the
           early morning hours of the 21st, and a third one moved
           through shortly after dawn.  The series of hailstorms
           caused nine million dollars damage.  Hailstones as large
           as grapefruit caused heavy damage to trees, utility
           lines, crops and buildings.  The thunderstorms also
           produced as much as five inches of rain in an eight hour
           period.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms prevailed east of the Rockies, producing
           severe weather in the Central High Plains Region.
           Thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes in Colorado, and
           produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Goodland KS.
   In 1988 Thirty-eight cities in the central U.S. reported record
           high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon highs of 97 at
           Flint MI and 104 at Chicago IL equalled records for the
           month of June.  Thunderstorms in North Dakota produced
           baseball size hail near Kief, and wind gusts to 100 mph
           near McGregor.
   In 1989 An early morning thunderstorm produced wind gusts to
           61 mph at Pierre SD, and hot thunderstorm winds raised
           the temperature at Pierre from 86 at midnight to 96 at 1
           AM to 104 degrees at 2 AM.  Butte MT and Yellowstone Park
           WY reported snow that afternoon.
