 On this day...
    Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current

    website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
    In 1932 Hailstones killed 200 in Hunan Province, China.
    In 1947 Twelve inches of rain fell in forty-two minutes at Holt
            MO establishing a world rainfall record.  The record was
            tied on January 24-25, 1956, at the Kilauea Sugar
            Plantation in Hawaii, as their state record was
            established with 38 inches of rain in 24 hours.
    In 1972 Hurricane Agnes deluged Pennsylvania and New York with
            torrential rains resulting in the most costly flood in
            U.S. history.  In the Middle Susquehanna Valley of
            Pennsylvania, 24 hour rainfall amounts were generally
            8 to 12 inches, with up to 19 inches in extreme
            southwestern Schuylkill County.  At Wilkes-Barre PA the
            dike was breached destroying much of the town.  Flooding
            resulted in 117 deaths and 3.1 billion dollars damage.
    In 1981 A young woman from Lubbock TX was struck by lightning.
            The bolt of lightning struck just above her right
            shoulder near her neck, and passed right to left through
            her body, tearing her warm-ups, causing her tennis shoes
            to explode, and lifting her two feet into the air.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in southern Texas produced wind gusts to
            116 mph near Quemado.  Thunderstorms in New York State
            produced 5.01 inches of rain in 24 hours at Buffalo, an
            all-time record for that location, and produced an inch
            of rain at Bath PA.  Fairbanks AK soared to 92 degrees,
            a record for the date.
    In 1988 Sixty-five cities in twenty-four states reported record
            high temperatures for the date.  Tucson AZ reported an
            all-time record high of 114 degrees, surpassing the
            previous record of 112 degrees established a day earlier.
            Highs of 98 at Pittsburgh PA and 100 at Baltimore MD tied
            records for the month of June.
    In 1989 Record cold temperatures were reported in the High Plains
            Region.  Rapid City SD reported a record low of 39
            degrees in contrast to their record high of 102 degrees
            on the 20th.
    In 2003 Tornadoes, hail up to 6 1/2 inches in diameter, and up to
            a foot of rain pounded southern Nebraska and northern
            Kansas. Four tornadoes struck in and around Deshler, KS,
            about 75 miles southwest of Lincoln...causing heavy damage.
            In Aurora, the huge hail dug craters in peoples yards, and
            the largest hailstone was just 1/8 of an inch smaller than
            the one that hit Coffeyville, KS in 1970. Most of the hail
            averaged 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Ten miles east of
            Deshler, in Hebron, radar estimated from 6 to 13 inches of
            rain, resulting in widespread flooding.
