   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1788 A small but powerful hurricane inflicted great havoc upon
           forests along a narrow track from New Jersey to Maine.
           A similar storm track today would cause extreme disaster
           in the now populated area.
   In 1969 'Never say die' Camille let loose a cloudburst in
           Virginia resulting in flash floods and landslides which
           killed 151 persons and cause 140 million dollars damage.
           Massies Hill VA received 27 inches of rain.
   In 1986 The temperature at San Antonio TX soared to an all-time
           record high of 108 degrees.
   In 1987 Thunderstorms moving out of southeastern Nebraska spread
           severe weather into eastern Kansas and western Missouri
           during the day.  Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced hail
           three inches in diameter at Albion, and high winds which
           downed a large tent at Waterloo injuring a dozen persons.
           Thunderstorms in Kansas produced baseball size hail
           northwest of Topeka, and wind gusts to 80 mph at Fulton.
           Ten persons were injured in a thunderstorm at Princeton
           KS, and damage to crops in southern Franklin County KS
           was estimated at 3.5 million dollars.
   In 1988 Raleigh NC reported a record hot temperature reading
           of 103 degrees.  Afternoon thunderstorms in Oklahoma
           produced wind gusts to 75 mph in southern Pittsburgh
           County.  Thunderstorms in Indiana produced 4.50 inches of
           rain at Morgantown.
   In 1989 Early morning thunderstorms deluged southeastern Delaware
           with six to ten inches of rain in four to six hours, with
           local reports of 13 to 20 inches of rain.  Twenty-six
           major roads were closed or damaged, and fourteen bridges
           were washed out.  Flooding caused nearly four million
           dollars damage to local businesses.
   In 1991 Hurricane Bob roared ashore at Newport, Rhode Island.
           2.1 million homes and businesses lost power.
