    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1682 A major tornado ripped through southwestern Connecticut,
            passing through Stratford, Milford, and New Haven, and
            then into Long Island Sound.
    In 1921 Circle MT received 11.5 inches of rain in 24 hours,
            a record for the state.  The town of Circle received a
            total of 16.79 inches of rain that month to establish a
            rainfall record for any town in Montana for any month of
            the year.
    In 1928 A farmer near Greensburg KS looked up into the heart of
            a tornado.  He described its walls as "rotating clouds
            lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy
            odor with a screaming, hissing sound".
    In 1964 A squall line producing large hail swept through central
            Illinois.  A second squall line moved through during the
            early morning hours of the 21st, and a third one moved
            through shortly after dawn.  The series of hailstorms
            caused nine million dollars damage.  Hailstones as large
            as grapefruit caused heavy damage to trees, utility
            lines, crops and buildings.  The thunderstorms also
            produced as much as five inches of rain in an eight hour
            period.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms prevailed east of the Rockies, producing
            severe weather in the Central High Plains Region.
            Thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes in Colorado, and
            produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Goodland KS.
    In 1988 Thirty-eight cities in the central U.S. reported record
            high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon highs of 97 at
            Flint MI and 104 at Chicago IL equalled records for the
            month of June.  Thunderstorms in North Dakota produced
            baseball size hail near Kief, and wind gusts to 100 mph
            near McGregor.
    In 1989 An early morning thunderstorm produced wind gusts to
            61 mph at Pierre SD, and hot thunderstorm winds raised
            the temperature at Pierre from 86 at midnight to 96 at 1
            AM to 104 degrees at 2 AM.  Butte MT and Yellowstone Park
            WY reported snow that afternoon.
