tornado or severe weather.
In 1987 A storm system moving across the Saint Lawrence Valley
produced 40 to 50 mph winds east of Lake Ontario.
High winds downed some trees around Watertown NY, and
produced waves seven feet high between Henderson Harbor
and Alexandria Bay. Mason City IA and Waterloo IA tied
for honors as cold spot in the nation with record lows
for the date of 19 degrees. Severe thunderstorms in
Oklahoma and northern Texas produced golf ball size hail
and wind gusts to 65 mph.
In 1988 Severe thunderstorms erupted over northeastern Texas
during the late evening producing softball size hail at
Newcastle and Jonesboro. Low pressure over James Bay in
Canada continued to produced showers and gale force winds
in the Great Lakes Region.
In 1989 Low pressure over Nevada produced high winds in the
southwestern U.S., and spread heavy snow into Utah.
Winds gusted to 63 mph at the Mojave Airport in southern
California. Snowfall totals in Utah ranged up to 12

In 2002 Hurricane Kenna, which at one time, was a category 5
hurricane with 160 mph winds, slammed into San Blas, MX
