On this day...
   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 1814 A tornado struck Washington, DC. While causing damage to
           much of the city, the damage blocked exit routes from
           invading British Troops that came into the city the day
           before. The torrential rains from the severe thunderstorms
           put out the raging fires that had been set by British
           troops the day before.
   In 1885 A severe hurricane struck South Carolina causing
           1.3 million dollars damage at Charleston.
   In 1940 New Jersey experienced its coldest August morning of
           record, with lows of 32 degrees at Layton and
           Charlotteburg.
   In 1987 Morning thunderstorms produced heavy rain in eastern
           Nebraska and southwestern Iowa.  Stanton IA reported
           10.50 inches of rain.  Water was reported up to the
           handle of automobiles west of Greenwood NE.  Rainfall
           totals for a two day period ranged from 7 to 14 inches
           across southwestern Iowa.  Crop damage was in the
           millions for both states.  Subsequent flooding of streams
           in Iowa the last week of August caused millions of
           dollars damage to crops, as some streams crested ten feet
           above flood stage.
   In 1988 Seven cities in California reported record high
           temperatures for the date, including Sacramento with
           an afternoon reading of 104 degrees.  Thunderstorms
           produced locally heavy rains in Arizona.  Chino Valley
           was drenched with 2.50 inches of rain in just thirty
           minutes washing out a couple of streets in town.
   In 1989 Morning thunderstorms drenched Spencer IN with 4.10
           inches of rain in three hours causing extensive street
           flooding.  Evening thunderstorms in eastern Kansas
           produced up to six inches of rain around Emporia, and
           four inches of rain in just forty-five minutes near
           Parsons, and also produced wind gusts to 70 mph at
           Lake Melvern.
