    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 1894 A heavy late season snow blanketed parts of the northeastern
            U.S.  Heavier snowfall totals included 31.5 inches at Salem
            Corners PA, 30 inches at LeRoy NY, 26 inches at York PA,
            14 inches at Waterbury CT, and 9 inches at Providence RI.
    In 1929 A major outbreak of tornadoes occurred in northeast Arkansas;
            with 49 fatalities. One of the tornadoes, which travelled
            fron south of Batesville to north of Swifton to south of
            Alicia was the only F-5 tornado on record for Arkansas.
    In 1935 Severe dust storms across Iowa and Kansas closed schools
            and highways.  Dodge City KS experienced its worst dust
            storm of record, with dense dust reported from the morning
            of the 9th until after sunset on the 11th.  The sky was
            almost as dark as night at times during the daylight hours.
            The thick dust suspended traffic on highways and railroads,
            nd also suspended most business in town.
    In 1965 Six people were killed in a tornado at Conway, Arkansas,
            northwest of Little Rock. This was the beginning of a major
            tornado outbreak the next day in the Great Lakes and Ohio
            Valley.
    In 1979 A massive (F-5) tornado hit Wichita Falls TX, killing 43
            persons, and causing 300 million dollars damage.  Another
            tornado struck Vernon TX killing eleven persons. The day
            became known as "Terrible Tuesday".
    In 1983 A dust devil formed over a field in Alaska's Tanana Valley,
            destroying a greenhouse, and blowing its debris 600 feet
            away.
    In 1987 Blustery northwest winds prevailed across the Northern Plains
            Region.  Winds in Wyoming gusted to 65 mph.  Temperatures in
            North Dakota were only in the 20s and 30s, following
            afternoon highs in the 70s the previous day.
    In 1988 Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the western U.S.
            Eleven cities reported new record high temperatures for the
            date, including Bakersfield CA with a reading of 95 degrees,
            their warmest for so early in the season.  Pocatello ID
            warmed from a record low of 19 above to an afternoon high of
            63 degrees.
    In 1989 Strong northerly winds, gusting to 53 mph at Albuquerque NM,
            ushered cold arctic air into the south central U.S.  The
            temperature at Albuquerque plunged from 82 degrees to 29
            degrees overnight.  Thirty-three cities in the central U.S.
            reported record low temperatures for the date, including
            Goodland KS with a reading of 4 degrees above zero.
    In 1990 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Central Gulf
            Coast Region to western sections of the Carolinas during the
            afternoon and evening.  Evening thunderstorms over western
            South Carolina produced wind gusts to 98 mph which injured
            four persons at Holly Springs, and wind gusts to 100 mph
            which injured one person and caused half a million dollars
            damage north of Dacusville.
    In 2013 At least 24 homes in Hazelwood, Missouri, sustained severe 
            damage from severe storms, which pummeled the St. Louis
            area and elsewhere across the state. Another tornado
            touched down in Arkansas, damaging at least 33 homes, and
            leaving three people injured in Van Buren County, about 75
            miles north of Little Rock. The tornado demolished the
            sanctuary, fellowship area, classrooms, and a pavilion at
            Botkinburg Foursquare Church. Damage also was reported in
            several other areas, and storm spotters reported overturned
            vehicles along U.S. 65, north of Clinton. Flash Flooding
            occurred around Montain View, near the Missouri border, and
            downburst winds from 60 to 70 mph were reported in some
            areas. Lightning sparked fires caused house fires near
            Searcy and Pangburn. The next day, a violent and extremely
            dangerous tornado was spotted near Macon, Mississippi, in
            Nouxubee County. The storms continued to the east coast on
            the 12th. Tragically, several injuries and some fatalities
            were blamed on the squall line of severe thunderstorms
            (10th-12th).
