   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 1898 The temperature at Prineville OR soared to 119 degrees to
           establish a state record, which was tied on the 10th of
           August at Pendleton.
   In 1905 Heavy rain in southwestern Connecticut caused a dam
           break, and the resulting flood caused a quarter of
           a million dollars damage at Bridgeport.  As much as
           eleven inches of rain fell prior to the flood.
   In 1981 Fifty cattle, each weighing 800 pounds, were killed by
           lightning near Vance AL.  The lightning struck a tree and
           then spread along the ground killing the cattle.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Minnesota to
           Indiana and Illinois.  A thunderstorm at Janesville WI
           produced wind gusts to 104 mph which flipped over two
           airplanes, and blew another 300 feet down the runway.
           The northeastern U.S. experienced some relief from the
           heat.  Nine cities reported record low temperatures for
           the date, including Saint Johnsbury VT with a reading of
           42 degrees.  Barnet VT reported a morning low of
           33 degrees, with frost on vegetation.
   In 1988 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
           weather in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  Hail three inches in
           diameter was reported south of Saint Cloud MN.  Hot
           weather prevailed in the western U.S.  Fresno CA reported
           a record thirteen straight days of 100 degree heat.
   In 1989 Morning thunderstorms in the Upper Midwest produced more
           than five inches of rain west of Virgil SD.  Afternoon
           and evening thunderstorms deluged the foothills and
           adjacent plains of Colorado with heavy rain.  Rains of
           six to seven and a half inches fell in eight hours north
           of Greeley.  Hail and heavy rain caused several million
           dollars damage in Weld County.
   In 2003 Monsoon rains triggered landslides, snapped electricity
           cables, and inundated a large part of South Asia. The
           heaviest 1-day rain in 25 years pummeled Karachi,
           Pakistan, with 4 inches of rain, leaving 14 dead.
