   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 1918 A single bolt of lightning struck 504 sheep dead in their
           tracks at the Wasatch National Forest in Utah.  Sheep
           often herd together in storms, and as a result the shock
           from the lightning bolt was passed from one animal to
           another.
   In 1986 Hurricane Estelle passed 120 miles south of the Hawaiian
           Islands creating a ten to twenty foot surf. The large
           swells resulted from a combination of high tides, a full
           moon, and 50 mph winds.  The hurricane also deluged Oahu
           Island with up to 6.86 inches of rain on the 24th and
           25th of the month.
   In 1987 Barrow AK receives 1.38 inches in 24 hours, an all-time
           record for that location.  The average annual precip-
           itation for Barrow is just 4.75 inches.  (21st-22nd)
           Thunderstorms in Montana produced 4 to 6 inches of rain
           in Glacier County causing extensive flooding along Divide
           Creek.  Missoula MT received 1.71 inches of rain in 24
           hours, a record for the month of July.
   In 1988 Six cities in the south central U.S. reported record low
           temperatures for the date, including Pueblo CO with a
           reading of 48 degrees.  Thunderstorms over the Atlantic
           Coast Region drenched Wilmington NC with 6.49 inches of
           rain in about eight hours.
   In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms prevailed across the
           southeastern third of the country.  Afternoon thunder-
           storms in Florida produced wind gusts to 86 mph at
           Zephyrhills, and gusts to 92 mph at Carrollwood and Lutz.
           Thunderstorm winds gusting to 69 mph at Crystal Lake
           damaged nineteen mobile homes.
   In 2003 For the third time in two weeks, severe thunderstorms
           again roared across Arkansas and the mid-south, with
           widespread wind damage. Memphis, TN had heavy damage
           in the downtown area, with straight line winds of 100
           miles per hour reported by storm spotters.
   In 2010 Severe storms struck much of the northeast United States,
           including 4 tornadoes in Maine, and 3 in Connecticut.
