   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1906 A cloudburst deluged Guinea VA with more than nine inches
           of rain in just forty minutes.
   In 1968 Lightning struck the Crawford County fairgrounds
           in Pennsylvania killing two persons and injuring
           72 others.
   In 1987 Autumn-like weather prevailed across the north central
           and northeastern U.S.  Seven cities reported record low
           temperatures for the date, including Saint Cloud MN with
           a reading of 37 degrees.  Temperatures in Florida soared
           to 98 degrees at Pensacola and 99 degrees at
           Jacksonville.  Thunderstorms produced heavy rain in the
           Southern High Plains Region, with 5.40 inches at Union
           NM, and 7.25 inches reported west of Anthony NM.
   In 1988 Thunderstorms in the Delaware Valley of eastern
           Pennsylvania produced wind gusts to 95 mph around
           Philadelphia, and gusts to 100 mph at Warminster.
           A tropical depression drenched the Cabo Rojo area of
           southwestern Puerto Rico with up to ten inches of rain.
           San Juan received 5.35 inches of rain.
   In 1989 Late afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
           weather in eastern Montana and western sections of the
           Dakotas.  Thunderstorms in Montana produced wind gusts to
           76 mph at Jordan, and golf ball size hail at Rock
           Springs, which collected three to four feet deep in
           ditches.  Lewiston ID reported a record 1.50 inches of
           rain for the date, and a record rainfall total for August
           of 2.63 inches.
   In 1992 Hurricane Andrew hit first near Homestead, Florida, and
           again on the 26th in Louisiana. Its total damage was
           $30 billion, a US record. Wind gusts to near 165 mph were
           reported at the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables.
           Originally a category 4, it was upgraded to a category 5
           after new hurricane research 10 years later.
   In 2014 Hurricane Marie in the Eastern North Pacific Basin,
           reached catgeory status, the first in that basin since
           Hurricane Celia in 2010.
