   In 1892 A tremendous ice fall occurred at Gay Hill TX.
           Ice averaged four to six inches in diameter.
   In 1938 The temperature at La Mesa CA soared to 108 degrees to
           establish a U.S. record for the month of December.
   In 1963 Lightning caused the crash of a jet airliner killing
           81 persons at Elkton MD.
   In 1987 A cold front crossing the northwestern U.S. continued to
           produce high winds along the coast, and heavy snow
           blanketed parts of the western U.S.  Snowfall totals in
           the mountains of western Nevada ranged up to 18 inches at
           Heavenly Valley and near the Boreal Ski Resort, and winds
           at Reno NV gusted to 56 mph.  Thunderstorms over southern
           Florida deluged the Florida Keys with up to five inches
           of rain.  Strong winds, gusting to 48 mph at Gage OK,
           ushered wintry weather into the Central High Plains.
           Goodland KS, which one day earlier was 63 degrees, was
           blanketed with two inches of snow.
   In 1988 Santa Ana winds buffeted southern California, with gusts
           to 92 mph reported at Laguna Peak.  The high winds
           unroofed buildings, and downed trees and power lines,
           igniting five major fires, and numerous smaller ones.
           Damage was estimated at 15 to 20 million dollars.
   In 1989 A winter storm spread snow and freezing rain across much
           of the Atlantic Coast Region, from Georgia to New Jersey.
           Snowfall totals ranged up to seven inches, at Stanton VA
           and Tobacco MD.  Up to six inches of snow  blanketed the
           mountains of northern Georgia.  More than one hundred
           auto accidents were reported in Gwinnett County GA.
   In 2002 Super Typhoon Pongsona hit Guam in the western Pacific,
           with 180 mph winds. 1700 building were destroyed, and over
           2000 more buildings were damaged.
