   In 1893 The first of three great hurricanes that year struck
           South Carolina drowning more than 1000 persons in a tidal
           surge at Charleston.
   In 1964 Hurricane Cleo battered Miami and the South Florida area.
           It was the first direct hit for Miami in fourteen years.
           Winds gusted to 135 mph, and the hurricane caused 125
           million dollars damage.
   In 1970 Elko NV was deluged with 3.66 inches of rain in just one
           hour, establishing a state record.
   In 1987 Washington D.C. soared to a record hot 100 degrees, while
           clouds and rain to the north kept temperatures in the 50s
           in central and southeastern New York State.
   In 1988 Afternoon thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains in
           the southwestern U.S.  Thunderstorms in eastern
           New Mexico produced wind gusts to 75 mph near the
           White Sands Missile Range, and produced three inches
           of rain in two hours near the town of Belen.
   In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe
           weather in southeastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas and
           Missouri.  Thunderstorms produced baseball size hail
           south of Belleville KS, and tennis ball size hail south
           of Lincoln NE.  Thunderstorms produced golf ball size
           hail and wind gusts to 70 mph at Saint Joseph MO.
           Thunderstorms in North Dakota deluged the town of Linton
           with six inches of rain in one hour.
   In 2011 (27th-28th) After lashing the Bahamas days earlier with
           120 mph winds, Hurricane Irene made landfall near Cape
           Lookout, North Carolina, with 85 mph winds. The next
           day, she made landfall near Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey,
           as a minimal hurricane (75 mph winds), and passed over
           New York City as a 65 mph Tropical Storm. Widespread
           damage, storm surge flooding, and tornadoes, occured in
           her path. Irene was only the second hurricane to hit New
           Jersey since 1851, and Vermont was particularly hard hit.
