   In 1878 The second most deadly tornado in New England history
           struck Wallingford CT killing 34 persons, injuring
           100 others, and completely destroying thirty homes.  The
           tornado started as a waterspout over a dam on the
           Quinnipiac River.  It was 400 to 600 feet wide, and had
           a short path length of two miles.
   In 1969 A tornado hit Cincinnati OH killing four persons and
           causing fifteen million dollars property damage.
           The tornado moved in a southeasterly direction at
           40 to 50 mph.
   In 1987 Florida baked in the summer heat.  Nine cities reported
           record high temperatures for the date, including
           Jacksonville with a reading of 101 degrees.  Miami FL
           reported a record high of 98 degrees.
   In 1988 Tropical Storm Beryl deluged Biloxi with 6.32 inches of
           rain in 24 hours, and in three days drenched Pascagoula
           MS with 15.85 inches of rain.  Afternoon and evening
           thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Southern
           Plains Region and over the Central High Plains Region.
           Thunderstorms in Oklahoma produced wind gusts to 92 mph
           at Harrah.
   In 1989 Evening thunderstorms in Arizona deluged Yuma with record
           torrential rains for the second time in two weeks.  The
           rainfall total of 5.25 inches at the Yuma Quartermaster
           Depot established a state 24 hour record, and was nearly
           double the normal annual rainfall.  Some of the homes
           were left with four feet of water in them. Seventy-six
           cities in the south central and eastern U.S. reported
           record low temperatures for the date.  Lake Charles LA
           equalled their record for August with a low of 61 degrees.
           Canaan Valley WV was the cold spot in the nation with a
           low of 32 degrees.
