   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1954 Mount Rainier in Washington State was still covered with
           sixteen inches of snow at the 5500 foot level following
           a big snow season.
   In 1985 A nearly stationary thunderstorm deluged Cheyenne WY with
           rain and hail.  Six inches of rain fell in six hours
           producing the most damaging flash flood of record for the
           state.  Two to five feet of hail covered the ground
           following the storm, which claimed twelve lives, and
           caused 65 million dollars property damage.
   In 1986 A powerful thunderstorm produced 100 mph winds and large
           hail in eastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri causing
           71 million dollars damage, and injuring nineteen persons.
           It was one of the worst thunderstorms of record for
           Kansas.  Crops were mowed to the ground in places and
           roofs blown off buildings along its path, 150 miles long
           and 30 miles wide, from near Abilene to southeast of
           Pittsburg.
   In 1987 Record heat gripped parts of the Midwest.  A dozen cities
           reported record high temperatures for the date, including
           Lincoln NE with a reading of 105 degrees, Moline IL with
           a high of 103 degrees, and Burlington IA with a reading
           of 102 degrees.
   In 1988 Two dozen cities in the Upper Midwest reported record
           high temperatures for the date, including La Crosse WI
           with a reading of 105 degrees.  Highs of 103 degrees at
           Milwaukee WI and South Bend IN were records for the month
           of August.
   In 1989 Hurricane Chantal made landfall along the Upper Texas
           coast about sunrise.  Chantal deluged parts of Galveston
           Island and southeastern Texas with 8 to 12 inches of
           rain.  Unofficial totals ranged up to twenty inches.
           Winds gusted to 82 mph at Galveston, and reached 76 mph
           in the Houston area.  Tides were 5 to 7 feet high.  The
           hurricane claimed two lives, and caused 100 million
           dollars damage.
