            tornado, half a mile in width, destroyed 200 homes on
            Coldwater Road killing entire families.
    In 1966 A tornado ripped right through the heart of the capitol
            city of Topeka KS killing sixteen persons and causing 100
            million dollars damage.  The tornado, which struck during
            the evening, cut a swath of near total destruction eight
            miles long and four blocks wide.  It was the most
            destructive tornado of record up until that time.
    In 1974 Severe thunderstorms spawned at least twenty-three
            tornadoes in Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening

            killing sixteen persons and injuring 150 others.
            A tornado struck the National Weather Service office in
            Oklahoma City, and two tornadoes hit the city of Tulsa.
            Thunderstorms in Tulsa also produced as much as ten
            inches of rain.  Total damage from the storms was around
            thirty million dollars.  It was the worst natural
            disaster of record for Tulsa.
            Heavy rains across Arkansas brought 8-10 inches of rain.
            Flash flooding occurred at Siloam Springs in northwest

            where 12 inches of rain fell.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in the northeastern U.S. produced large
            hail and damaging winds in Vermont injuring two persons.
            Thunderstorms in Ohio produced wind gusts to 75 mph near
            Akron, and deluged Pittsfield with two inches of rain in
            thirty minutes.
    In 1988 Overnight thunderstorms in Iowa produced 5.20 inches of
            rain at Coon Rapids.  Thunderstorms in the Florida Keys
            drenched Tavernier with 7.16 inches of rain in 24 hours.
            Eleven cities in the central U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather over the Central
            Gulf Coast Region during the day and evening.  Severe
            thunderstorms spawned 17 tornadoes, including one which
            injured ten persons and caused a million dollars damage
            at Orange Beach AL.  Thunderstorm winds gusting to 90 mph
            killed three persons and injured four others at Mobile
            AL.  Thunderstorms also deluged Walnut Hill FL and Avalon
            Beach FL with eight inches of rain.
    In 2012 (8th-10th) Torrential rains from thunderstorms repeatedly
            going over the same areas deluged portions of Alabama, the
            Florida panhandle, and adjacent areas. Between 5 and 10
            inches fell at Mobile, Alabama...with nearly 22 inches at
            West Pensacola, Florida. Many parts of Escambia County,
            Florida were underwater.
