 Today is Friday  June 10, 2016.
 This is the 162nd day of the year, there are 204 days left.

 On this day...
    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 1752 It is believed that this was the day Benjamin Franklin
            narrowly missed electrocution while flying a kite during
            a thunderstorm to determine if lightning is related to
            electricity.
    In 1957 A dust devil at North Yarmouth ME lifted a 600-1000 pound
            chicken shelter into the air and carried it 25 feet.  It
            landed upright with only slight damage.  It is unknown
            whether any eggs were scrambled.
    In 1958 A woman was sucked through the window of her home in
            El Dorado KS by a powerful tornado, and was carried sixty
            feet away.  Beside her was found a broken phonograph
            record entitled "Stormy Weather".
    In 1969 Hail damaged about 80% of the homes and businesses (5600
            structures) in Plainview, Texas.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms produced 2 to 4 inch rains in southern
            Texas.  Two and a half inches of rain at Juno TX caused
            flooding and closed a nearby highway.  Flooding on the
            northwest side of San Antonio claimed one life as a boy
            was swept into a culvert.  Thunderstorms in the north
            central U.S. produced an inch and a half of small hail at
            Monida Pass MT.
    In 1988 Three dozen cities, mostly in the eastern U.S., reported
            record low temperatures for the date, including Elkins WV
            with a reading of 33 degrees.  Unseasonably hot weather
            continued in the Northern High Plains Region.  The record
            high of 105 degeees at Williston ND was their seventh in
            eight days.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather through the day and
            night across much of the southern half of the Great
            Plains Region.  Thunderstorms spawned 14 tornadoes, and
            there were 142 reports of large hail and damaging winds.
            Hail three inches in diameter caused three millions
            dollars damage at Carlsbad NM.  Hail four inches in
            diameter was reported at Estelline TX and Stinnett TX.
            Thunderstorm winds gusted to 80 mph at Odessa TX.
