   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 1895 A violent tornado killed 71 persons on its forty-mile
           track across northwestern Iowa.  Forty-nine persons were
           killed around Pomeroy, where eighty percent of
           the buildings were destroyed, with most leveled to the
           ground.  Photos showed most of the town without a wall or
           tree left standing.
   In 1928 A hailstorm at Potter NE produced a stone which was
           5.5 inches in diameter, and seventeen inches in
           circumference, weighing a pound and a half.
   In 1985 Lightning struck a large transformer in Salt Lake County
           sending a 200 foot fireball into the air and blacking out
           almost the entire state for up to five hours.
   In 1986 Thunderstorm rains at mid morning, and again during the
           evening, produced major flash-flooding at Leavenworth KS.
           The official rainfall total was 10.37 inches, but
           unofficial totals exceeded twelve inches.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in twenty-one
           states east of the Rockies, with severe weather reported
           in Kentucky and Indiana for the second day in a row.  A
           thunderstorm produced more than five inches of rain in
           one hour near Reynolds IL.  Rochester NY was soaked with
           3.25 inches, a record 24 hour total for the month of July.
   In 1988 Thirty-six cities in the north central and northeastern
           U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date.
           Highs of 98 at International Falls MN and 101 at Flint MI
           equalled all-time records.  Highs of 96 at Muskegon MI
           and 97 at Buffalo NY were records for July.
   In 1989 Unseasonably hot weather prevailed in the southwestern
           U.S.  Ten cities reported record high temperatures for
           the date, including Las Vegas NV with a reading of
           115 degrees.  Hanksville UT reached 112 degrees, Bullhead
           City AZ hit 120 degrees, and Death Valley CA soared to
           126 degrees.
   In 2001 A strong waterspout at Myrtle Beach, SC came onshore,
           becoming a strong tornado. Several people were injured
           by flying debris, with heavy property damage.
