   Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

   website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
   In 1919 A hurricane struck the Florida Keys drowning more than
           500 persons.
   In 1960 Hurricane Donna struck the Florida Keys, with winds
           gusting to 180 mph and a thirteen foot storm surge.  The
           hurricane then moved north along the eastern coast of
           Florida and inundated Naples before moving out to sea.
           Hurricane Donna claimed 50 lives, injured 1800 others,
           and caused more than 300 million dollars damage.  The
           Marathon/Tavernier area was almost completely destroyed,
           and in the Citrus Belt, most of the avacado crop was
           blown from the trees.  Hurricane Donna wreaked havoc from
           Florida to Maine, with wind gusts to 100 mph along much
           of the coast.  Hurricane Donna produced wind gusts to 121
           mph at Charleston SC on the 11th, and wind gusts to 138
           mph at Blue Hill Observatory MA on the 12th.  The
           hurricane finally died over Maine two days later,
           producing more than five inches of rain over the state.
   In 1976 Kathleen was the first tropical cyclone to hit southern CA
           since 1939, its 6' high wall of water destroyed 70% of homes.
   In 1987 A late afternoon thunderstorm roared through Austin TX
           producing wind gusts to 81 mph and 2.17 inches of rain in
           just sixty minutes.  The high winds toppled six National
           Guard helicopters at the Robert Mueller Municipal
           Airport, and damaged or destroyed numerous other
           aircraft.
   In 1988 Cool air sweeping into the north central U.S. brought
           snow to some of the higher elevations of Montana.
           The town of Kings Hill, southeast of Great Falls, was
           blanketed with six inches of snow.  Tropical Storm
           Gilbert strenghtened to a hurricane over the eastern
           Carribean.
   In 1989 Light snow fell in Montana overnight, with three inches
           reported at Fairfield.  Billings MT reported a record low
           of 33 degrees.  Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in
           the northeastern U.S., with record highs of 86 degrees at
           Caribou ME and 90 degrees at Burlington VT.
